Lyrics

Fat flabby annie was incredibly big
She weighed just about sixteen stone
And then a fake dietician went and put her on a diet
Now she looks like skin and bone
Do the meditation and yoga
And she's thrown away the good food guide
And she's given up the alcohol and pizzas
And the pies and now she looks as if she's ready to die
You can't see her walk by

Don't eat no mashed potatoes
Don't eat no buttered scones
Stay away from carbohydrates
You're gonna look like skin and bone

Living on the edge of starvation
And she says she's got no appetite
And her father and her mother
And her sisters and her brothers
Couldn't see her when she walked by
She looked like skin and bone

Don't eat no mashed potatoes
Don't eat no buttered scones
Stay away from carbohydrates
You're gonna look like skin and bone

She used to be so cuddly
She used to be so fat
But oh what a sin cos she's oh so thin
That she lost all the friends that she had
She looks like skin and bone

If you look flabby
And you feel overweight
And you wanna lose a couple of stone
Take a crash course diet do your daily exercises
And you'll look like skin and bone

Come on rattle them bones
Put your hands up to the ceiling
Bend your hips and touch your toes
Do your daily exercises
You're gonna look like skin and bone

Don't eat no mashed potatoes, etc
