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 
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 
You can't see her walk by. 


She don't eat no mashed potatoes, 
She 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, 
Don't eat no buttered scones 
Don't eat no carbohydrates 
You're gonna look like skin and bone
