What's Really For Dinner

Sweet jelly roll;
                                    Humm!! Taste so, so good;
                              That I would like to have you with
                                                      A
                                      Ice cold glass of milk;
                           Maybe even pour in some Nestle Quik;
                                                   Hun!!
                                          I'm a wondering;
                                Would you be good with grapes?
                                     I am salivating and craving;
                                    Good old, chocolate cake;
                                    Yum, yum you'd be good;
                                                 All day
                                     I would like to have you
                                                  with
                                    An Ice cold glass of milk;
                                   But don't tell mommy now;
                           Cause I haven't finish my dinner, wow
                                       Everything's better
                           When you throw away the vegetables;
                                 Your stomach more happy;
                       When you eat the things that taste good;
                                    Your stomach is happy;
                            When you miss a few nutrients???
                  How bout' putting some chocolate on that broccoli;
              How bout' pouring some warm chesses on the collar flower;
                How bout' putting some peanut-butter and jelly on liver;
                          That's the only way I'm gonna eat it???
                                    What's really for dinner?
