How come you’re always such a fussy young man
I don’t care if you’re full
Don’t want no Captain Crunch, don’t want no Raisin Bran
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Well, don’t you know that other kids are STARVING in Japan
Open up your mouth and FEED it
So EAT it, just EAT it
Have some more YOGURT
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 DESSERT ’till you clean off your PLATE
So eat it
Have some more spam
It doesn’t matter if it’s fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don’t you make me repeat it
Have a BANANA, have a whole bunch
Don’t you tell me you’re full
It doesn’t matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it (x4) ooh
Get yourself an EGG and beat it
Have some more CHICKEN have some more PIE
It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it (x4) ooh
Eat it, eat it, 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
Your table manners are some crying shame
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
You’re playing with your food, this ain’t some kind of game
Get yourself an EGG and beat it (oh lord)
Now, if you starve to death,
Have some more CHICKEN,
You’ll just have yourself to blame
Have some more PIE
So eat it, just eat it
It doesn’t matter if it’s boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
You better listen, better do what you’re told
Don’t you make me repeat it (oh no)
You haven’t even touched your TUNA casserole
Have a BANANA, have a whole bunch
You’d better chow down or it’s gonna get cold
It doesn’t matter what you had for
So eat it
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Vocabulary note:
“
” can mean “
” or “
”. It’s not very good English but a lot of native
speakers use it. When Weird Jankovic says “

that eating is not a game.
“
” is used by American people to say “
”. It expresses the future.
