Food Blues

I was waiting in Rosie's Restaurant
 When the waiter came up and said, "What do you want?"
 I looked at the menu and it looked so nice
 'Til he said, "Lemme give you some advice"
 He said, "Spaghetti and potatoes got too much starch
 Pork chops and sausage are bad for your heart
 There's hormones in chicken and beef and veal
 Bowl of ravioli is a dead man's meal
 Bread got preservatives, there's nitrites in ham
 Artificial coloring in jellies and jam
 Stay away from donuts, run away from pie
 Pepperoni pizza is a sure way to die
 Sugar rots your teeth and makes you put on weight
 But artificial sweetener's got cyclamates
 Eggs got cholesterol, there's fat in cheese
 Coffee ruins your kidneys and so does tea
 Fish got mercury, red meat is poison
 Salt's gonna send your blood pressure rising
 Hot dogs and bologna got deadly red dyes
 Vegetables and fruits are sprayed with pesticides"
 (They're bad for you, that's you all)
 (You are what you eat)
 So I said, "What can I eat that's gonna make me last?"
 He said, "A small drink of water in a sterilized glass"
 And then he stopped, and he thought for a minute
 And said, "Never mind the water, there's carcinogenics in it"
 So I got up from the table and walked out in the street
 Realizing there was nothing I could eat
 I ain't eaten for a month and I'm feeling fine
 'Cause he did not mention beer, or whiskey, or women, and sweet red wine
