I'M Getting Ready For Vacation

There's a treadmill in the corner of the room
Gathering dust, gathering dust.
I must get my fat ass on  it very soon,
Yes I must, yes I must.

This time my New Year's resolution
I won't break, I won't break.
I'll get into the rhythm and the motion
Till I ache, till I ache.

I need to drop a couple more pounds ... like fifty,
Yes I do, yes I do.
To get back into shape and looking nifty,
But forty would do, forty would do.

There's a treadmill in the corner of the room
Gathering dust, gathering dust.
I need to fit into a swimsuit real soon,
Yes I must, it's Mexico or bust.



for Carolyn's "New Year's Resolutions" contest
