"No More Bread And Butter" lyrics

The Rovers Lyrics

"No More Bread And Butter"

I went to the doctor for my yearly review
I knew I might be over by a pound or two
But when I took my clothes off and stepped up on the scale
The doctor looked at me and he said: you fail

No more bread and butter, no more pizza and beer
No spaghetti and meat balls, I hope I made myself clear
Good-bye to lasagna, farewell burgers and fries
Arrive derci pasta, no more baked alaska 'til 1995

He said my body really was a hell of a mess
He'd like me to weight about 50 pounds less
Start some exercising, look out for your heart
There's no time like the present for you to starts

No more bread and butter, no more pizza and beer
No spaghetti and meat balls, I hope I made myself clear
Good-bye to lasagna, farewell burgers and fries
Arrive derci pasta, no more baked alaska 'til 1995

I thought that losing weight would just be a breeze
Carrot sticks and lettuce and some cottage cheese
But eating rabbit food couldn't make me forsake
That burning desire for a big t-bone steak

Well, I lasted a week, but I can't take it no more
My knees are shaking and my head is sore
My poor old tummy makes a horrible sound
I think I'm going to treat it to a night on the town
But he said...

No more bread and butter, no more pizza and beer
No spaghetti and meat balls, I hope I made myself clear
Good-bye to lasagna, farewell burgers and fries
Arrive derci pasta, no more baked alaska 'til 1995

No more bread and butter, no more pizza and beer
No spaghetti and meat balls, I hope I made myself clear
...
