Eat It
(parody of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson)
New Lyrics by Al Yankovic
Am G
How come you're always such a fussy young man
Am G
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
F G
Well don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
Am G
So eat it, just eat it
(repeat chord pattern)
Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no desert till you clean off your plate
So eat it
Don't tell me you're full
(Chorus)
melody - A C E C(octave) A, B A G G, A C E C(octave) A, B A G

Just eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
2nd Verse
Your table manners are a crying shame
Your playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now if you starve to death you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it
You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it
I don't care if you're full
2nd Chorus
Just eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more Spam
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Am
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Am
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
3rd Chorus
Just eat it, eat it
If it's getting cold reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it,you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
