Diet Madam?


Well I went to Slimming World,
To get shut of me bum!
And oh cor blimey and sugar plumbs,
Just look what I have done!
The very first week I had a shock!
Cos oh blimey, I lost weight!
Me nerves were gone, I was up the pole,
And I was in a state!

The next time that I went…
Oh dear, I saw the scale…
I thought that I'd gained weight,
And I think I went quite pale!
Then sitting back in me chair,
Sue shouts across the room…
‘Cathy, you've lost 3 and ˝ pounds!'
Blimey! I think I did a little swoon!

‘Are you sure?' I asked her,
I mean, cos I was in a state,
And therein lay a conflab…
A sort of, errrm, debate!
So there I sat in wonderment,
And now I wanted to lose more!
So that one day I could turn up,
And fit through just ‘one' door!

I wouldn't have to squeeze through it,
And wouldn't have to open the two,
Oh cor blimey, what a shock…
I didn't quite know what to do!
I think I sat with a great huge grin,
Just like a cat with the cream!
I mean to say, I'd lost weight!
I thought it was a dream!

So then I was a little unwell,
Stuck in bed; and full of pain!
And couldn't make the next few weeks,
And I think I made a gain!
Of all the food that I could eat,
I couldn't cope so I had none,
Cos I had to live on bread and jam,
Oh hells bells, what had I done!

So now I return to the ‘weighing room,'
And I'm all in a dither and sweat,
Wondering how much weight I've gained!
But no matter, I'm not going to fret!
Cos now I'm up and about again,
Metaphorically speaking of course!
Back on track…no time to lack!  
Cos I don't wana be as big as a horse!

So there I am, in wonderment,
Squirming in me seat once more…
Waiting for the dreaded weigh in,
And ready to leg it outa the door!
But hey, no sweat, no worries!  
Cos I've got a clever plan you see!
I'm gona eat and eat and eat some more,
And burn that fat right off me!

So ‘weight' a mo, what's all this?
I think I'm I being stuck on the ‘scale'
Oh dear me, gimme a bucket quick,
Cos I'm feeling really pale!!!
So here I am in class again, sitting oh -
So nice and quiet and shy…
Secretly getting ready to run,
Cos if I‘ve put any weight on!'  Am gonna cry!

Diet madam?  Nope, not at all…
For we eat all we want to eat,
And lose the weight!  And wow,
What a shock! I'm getting lighter on me feet!
And soon am gona be dancing like a fairy,
On me tip toes too!
Floating around the hall I'll be…well,
At least I'm hoping too!

So come on Sue, help me out,
I'm all in a sweat and a dither,
Cos I need me consultant on me case,
So I can get slimmer quicker!
After all, I have to say,
When all's said and done…
I have to do summat drastic!
And get rid of me big fat bum!
