I broke my own heart

Burger King’s and KFC’s Large kebabs topped off with cheese Too many beers slip down with ease A Double Whopper, no salad please Pile on the pounds, put on the weight That greasy fry tasted just great Eat it all, let’s clear the plate Another bar of chocolate Living it large on the cardiac ward The doctors have, my heart explored Lying here on a hospital cart Would you believe, I broke my own heart Fresh cream buns, so nice to eat The icing sugar tastes so sweet Scoff the lot and then repeat A McDonald’s meal, a late night treat Living it large on the cardiac ward The doctors have, my heart explored Lying here on a hospital cart Would you believe, I broke my own heart Taking a walk, an alien activity Go to the gym? To much productivity Lazing around is joyous proclivity All hail the God of inactivity And now I regret being such a glutton I should have refused that last plate of mutton Wishing there was a reset button For a life of chips and beer and bacon Living it large on the cardiac ward The doctors have, my heart explored Lying here on a hospital cart Would you believe, I broke my own heart
