Letra Animal Crackers de Safka Melanie original

Oh, eat your animal crackers
'Cause my mother told me so long ago,
'If you eat your animal crakers,
The children in Europe won't starve anymore'.
Hahaha hahahaha hahaha.

Oh I love eating icecream,
Chocolate, vanilla and butter pecan,
But I best love animal crackers
'Cause I love helping my fellow man.
Yeah, I eat more crackers than anyone can
Hahaha haha.

(I forgot the words.... ONCE! Thank you!)

Once I went on a diet
(that's the freudian part, is it, when I forget it)
Once I went on a diet
A carbohydrate diet ain't nice
'Cause you can't eat animal crackers.
So, I'm gonna stay a fatty for all of my life,
Hahaha hahaha.
But some people think that fatties are nice, yeah.

Ah, animal crackers are in this year!
Ha ha hahaha.
Oh, lalalalala lala lala

I wrote this song in Columbus, Missouri.
I was... had a day off, so I, I wanted to go to the country,
and that wasn't very difficult because the country was...

And I walked outside my door and I saw a big cow and I said,
'Oh, moo, you know, don't you, you know that I don't eat cows?'
And the cow didn't say anything except: 'Mmmm, Melanie'.
And so, and so I wrote him this song,
and I wrote it really for all the cows.
