Animal Crackers

(album: Leftover Wine - 1970)

Oh, eat your animal crackers
'Cause my mother told me so long ago
"If you eat your animal crackers
The children in Europe won't starve anymore"
Ha ha ha...
Oh, 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
Ha ha ha...
But some people think that fatties are nice, yeah
I love eating ice-cream
Chocolate, vanilla and butter pecan
But I best love animal crackers
'Cause I love helping my fellow man
Yeah, I really do

Did you ever hear of Alice's restaurant?
I eat at Alice's restaurant year after year
She makes an animal cracker pizza, ha
And she gives animal crackers out free with the beer
Oh, let's give Alice a great big cheer
She knows the age of the animal cracker is here
Ah, animal crackers are in this year
Ha ha ha...
Oh, lalala...
