Chitter chatter all around
In my heavy suit want to jump around
For today the pounds fade away
Slowly slowly a gram a day.
Mix the food by colour tag
Eat them all don’t be a fad
Slowly slowly a gram a day
Watch the pounds fade away
Now I worry what to eat
As the wedding steals my feet
Dance enjoy and today do not toy
Slowly slowly a gram a day
Watch the pounds fade away
Like a bank or savings club
Watch the numbers all add up
Slowly slowly a gram a day
Watch the pounds fade away
Now at last I reach my goal
Taking it all real slow
Hold on steady day by day
Eat the colour tag
Come on now don’t be a fad
No more slowly slowly a gram a day
Watching pounds fade away
But still I eat the colour song
Keep on going very strong
No more pounds to put on.
Now I learnt just what to do
Make my plate two thirds full
Of super free and count the syns
Then no more pounds will creep in.
Slowly slowly day by day
keep those pounds at bay.
