Cho: Dyin’ to be thin! Dyin’ to be thin!
Ev’rybody gonna love me when I'm nothin’ but skin!
Fat, fat, fat! Good-bye fat!
I’m gonna look yummy when my tummy is flat!
I wanna look like, the lady in the ad!
With a little tiny hiney, gonna be so bad!
Ev’rybody gonna love my skinny thighs,
And my big, sexy, sunken eyes!
Cho: Tough, tough, tough! Gotta get tough!
So I punish my body but it’s never enough!
Dyin’ to be thin! Dyin’ to be thin!
Ev’rybody gonna love me when I'm a skeleton!
(She's a maniac, maniac!)
I wanna be young and I wanna be sweet
And I wanna be special, so I don’t wanna eat!
I’m going on a fast! I’m goin’ on a diet!
An’ you can’t stop me, so you better not try it!
(You look simply marvelous Darling!)
Cho: Sweat, sweat, sweat! Gotta lotta sweat!
I lost a couple pounds, but I ain’t there yet!
Weight, weight, weight, gotta lose weight!
I starve myself, and then I celebrate
Drinkin’ diet root beer, eatin’ diet meat,
Lickin’ diet ice cream, cool and sweet!
Suckin’ diet candy, but I gotta stay thin, so,
I throw it all out, and start my diet again!
Cho: Sick, sick, sick! I'm a little bit sick!
But when I'm boney, no baloney, hey!! I'm gonna look slick!
Dyin’ to be thin! Dyin’ to be thin!
Ev’rybody gonna love me when I’m nothin’ but skin!
(I’m gonna be beautiful and happy and successful, if it's the LAST thing I do!)
Dyin’ to be thin! Dyin’!! Dyin’! Dyin’! Dyin’!
