I'd never eat anything
That would ever bring a pound to my thigh
I've never had to diet
Or needed a pack of fries
To curb a hungry cry
But lately I'll admit
There've been times when I could have
The thing that kept me strong
Is the one thing that is always on my mind

When I think about Eatin'
I just think about Ray Stevens
And how his songs just aren't that funny
And I toss my lunch away
Even when I'm listenin' to The Streaker
No there's never any humor
I just think about Ray Stevens
When I think about eatin'

There was a time when I was young
When he sung all the songs I wanted to hear
It was hard to turn it down
Because he sounded like a clown
And filled my heart with cheer
But it just took one
Listen more than once
And I was feelin' blue
He never had a chance
Because I shit my pants
Before the song was through

When I think about Eatin'
I just think about Ray Stevens
And how his songs just aren't that funny
And I toss my lunch away
Even when I'm listenin' to Gitarzan
No there's never any laughs, man
I just think about Ray Stevens
When I think about eatin'
And when I'm listenin' to The Streaker
No there's never any humor
I just think about Ray Stevens
When I think about eatin'
