THE FOOD SONG

Hey, I had a bad day,

And I wondered how it tastes,

So I ate...

And then I served myself a second plate.

Hey, I had a bad week,

And I wonder if it's sweet,

So I'll eat...

'Cause I deserve to give myself a treat...

Sadness tastes like French fries

And anger tastes like wine...

They're only grapes but give them time.

Hey, I had a bad night,

So I wrapped it up in pie

And let it bake...

So all my feelings taste like Tenderflake.

Oh joy, my mum just called.

And she's appalled because my dad don't want to spoon,

I'll take that spoon, and put some ice-cream on my afternoon.

But guilty tasates like noodles.

Lonely tastes like bread.

But toast can make a royal friend,

hmmm!

Yup!

Everything is wonderful... Yeah!

So walk it off, walk it off,

Circle the block,

The cookies and cream are starting to talk to me...

I'm ust crazy...

But crazy tastes so good,

Crazy tastes so nice.

Crazy tastes like never-have-to-go outside.

Here we go now!

Hey, I had a bad day so I ate it all.(repeat 3 times

Hey, I had a bad day and I'm stuffed.
