I went to town and I bought a shake,
And then I ate a piece of chocolate cake,
Some sugared donuts with a can of pop,
Then I went over to the candy shop.

I ate some licorice while I walked home,
But before too long I started to moan.
I had a pain in my stomach and aches in my teeth
Oh, I think I ate too many sweets!

Chorus 1
I turned my radio on to a song,
They were singing about being healthy and strong,
To eat right, sleep right and exercise,
And be energized in a natural way!

I was in for a shock when I stood on the scales!
My tummy blocked the view to my toenails!
And when I looked in the mirror and saw my shape,
I thought, "Oh man, I'd better lose some weight!"

Chorus 2
Then I heard my radio playing that song,
They were singing about being healthy and strong,
To eat right, sleep right and exercise,
And be energized in a natural way!

They said to drink lots of water throughout the day,
To keep my body working in the proper way.
And when I feel like eating something sweet,
It's so much better to have fruit to eat.

Radio song
Carbohydrates, proteins, oils and fats,
Keep you going and growing that's a fact!
Vegetables and fruits are a vitamin treat
They'll protect you so you won't be weak.

Chorus 3
I heard my radio playing that song,
They were singing about being healthy and strong,
To eat right, sleep right and exercise,
And be energized in a natural way!

[Waay! Ooh, ooh, ooh!]

I don't mind an occasional burger 'n' fries,
And I'll have a little ice cream once in a while;
But a balanced diet keeps me in shape,
And now my body's feeling really great! Oh...

Chorus 4
I hear my radio playing that song, yeah,
They're singing about being healthy and strong,
To eat right, sleep right and
Exercise, and be energized in a natural way!
[Eat right, sleep right] and exercise,
And be energized in a natural way!

[Waay! Ooh, ooh!]
