THE SCALES OF JUSTICE.
Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t! Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t! Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t!
As you know, being body-beautiful is a rule of law
We have a warrant to see what kind of food you keep in store.
Have you had your cholesterol levels legally tested?
A fridge full of eggs, bacon and meat pies will get you arrested.
State approved health foods must be all you have on your shelves.
Who will want your heart if you gorge yourselves?
We can’t transplant lard-soaked organs that will
Kill our patients again. Think Thin! The health
Of the nation rests on you. ‘Do not get ill.
Just get to work’ is the sum of the law!
Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t! Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t! Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t!
Diet Squad stomach pumps are for
Your own good. Chips are evil and crazy
People go to illegal cake-easy’s. Keep in trim
Or face compulsory liposuction
Exercise is essential. Run, jog, swim.
Your body is our temple. You function
For us. Do not desecrate of blaspheme
In our church by eating unholy food.
Mushy peas, cream cakes and whipped cream
May be tempting but think of yourself nude
And naked, vomiting forth your breakfast
In televised court and sent to Reducing
School, forced to lose weight, and ordered to fast.
Sugar - just say no. This comes by ruling
Of The Weights And Measurements Department
Let them not eat cake - by order of your Government.
Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t! Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t! Healthy is efficient! Fat and lazy
Isn’t!
