| Am Pierc | ing ring of | G falli | ng | Am weights | , |
| Am Clack | of | G forks | on | F meag | er | Am plates | . |
| Am Sag | ging flesh and | G doub | le | Am chin | , |
| Am Starve | those | G fat | sos | F ’til | they’re | Am thin | ! |
| Am Though | they beg on | G bend | ed knees, |
| Am Feed | them | G on | ly | F cot | tage | Am cheese | . |
| Am They | want seconds; | G we | deny it. |
| Am How | many of | G them | can | F we | make | Am diet | ? |
| Am We | know just what’s | G in | their | Am hearts | : |
| Am Choc | olate-c | G ust | ard- | F jell | y | Am tarts | . |
| Am In | their daydreams, | G each | one | Am sees |
| Am Com | bo | G piz | zas | F choked | with | Am cheese | . |
| Am Feed | them food that | G tastes | like chalk; |
| Am Watch | the | G ex | its | F like | a | Am hawk | . |
| Am Sneak | a snack? Just | G let | them try it! |
| Am How | many of | G them | can | F we | make | Am diet | ? |
| Am Fol | low menus | G as | you’re | Am told |
| Am If | you | G plan | on | F grow | ing | Am old | . |
| Am Close | your mind to | G hung | er | Am pangs | . |
| Am Think | of | G how | your | F bell | y | Am hangs | ! |
| Am Here’s | a tempting | G rec | ipe: |
| Am Ok | ra | G sal | ad, | F oil | - | Am free | . |
| Am Steam | it lightly; | G don’t | deep-fry it! |
| Am How | many of | G them | can | F we | make | Am diet | ? |
| Am Pro | tein paste on | G fi | ber | Am bread | : |
| Am Di | et | G ’til | you’re | F thin | or | Am dead | . |
| Am Mid | night snack of | G blood | -red | Am meat | ? |
| Am Just | for | G that | we’ll | F make | you | Am eat |
| Am Sau | sage made from | G tur | key bone, |
| Am Lunch | -meats | G from | the | F Twi | light | Am Zone | , |
| Am Cas | seroles you eye in | G vague | disquiet. |
| Am How | many of | G them | can | F we | make | Am diet | ? |
| Am We | won’t give an | G inch | of | Am ground | : |
| Am Not | when | G we’re | paid | F by | the | Am pound | . |
| Am Make | sure every | G one | re | Am news | : |
| Am They’ve | got | G more | than | F fat | to | Am lose | ! |
| Am Charge | them ’til they’re | G all | dirt-poor. |
| Am They | won’t | G gain | weight | F an | y | Am more! |
| Am Can’t | eat food if | G they | can’t buy it! |
| Am How | many of | G them | can | F we | make | Am diet | ? |
