Humorous


 * HUMOROUS**

**"Eat It" by Wierd Al Yankovic**

Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan So eat it, just eat it
 * How come you're always such a fussy young man

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

Don't you tell me you're full Just eat it, eat it, 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 boiled or fried Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

__Your table manners are some cryin' shame You're 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 Just eat it, eat it, 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, 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 Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it If it's gettin' 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, eat it, eat it Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord) Have some more chicken, have some more pie It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it Don't you make me repeat it (oh no) Have a banana, have a whole bunch It doesn't matter what you had for lunch Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it**

This song is a parody of Michael Jackson's Beat it by Weird Al Yankovic. The humor in this song are the creative lyrics. Weird Al is telling a boy to just eat his food. "Just eat it. Just eat it" Instead of Just Beat it, where Michael Jackson is telling people, to just leave dangerous unnecessary situations alone. Weird Al is known for turning regular songs into outrageous songs with humorous tones, as he did this song. I personally really like this song and think that he did an excellent job, especially considering the fact that there is an extreme amount of repetition in it. (The underlined part is my favorite.)
