to the tune of 'MY Way' <br /> <br /> <br />And now, my weigh-ins near <br />and my poor scale faces destruction <br />I've cheated, had some LITE beers <br />then gotten quotes for liposuction <br /> <br /> <br />I've eaten way past full <br />and then had one more for the highway <br />I've gotten old, I've gotten fat <br />don't diet my way! <br /> <br />Bagettes, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention <br />I love my salty snacks <br />but that's what gave me hypertension <br /> <br />I planned each 3 course meal <br />at greasy spoons along the highway <br />Ive gotten old <br />I've gotten fat <br />don't diet my way <br /> <br />Yes there were times when I was blue <br />Ice cream in quarts, I would go through <br />but through it all, despite the gout <br />I'd eat it in, or take it out <br />I ate it all, - and I'm not tall <br />don't diet my way <br /> <br /> <br />I've lunched, I've wined and dined <br />I've had my failed attempts at losing <br />but now my jeans just split <br />and it no longer seems amusing. <br /> <br />To think I ate it all <br />and may I say not in a shy way <br />I've gotten old, I've gotten fat <br />don't diet my way <br /> <br />For what is a meal without cake for desert <br />and JOGGING IS DANGEROUS - a guy could get hurt <br />I ate the foods I truly craved <br />and never once was fashion's slave <br />The weight-in shows, I need new clothes <br />don't diet my way!<br /><br />John F.
