[Verse 1]
G
Stark naked in front of my mirror
C
A pudgy person somehow did appear
D
Seems lately all
I've eaten sugar and fat
G
It's getting obvious
that's not where it's at
G
A big pot and tripley chin
C
Oh what condition my
condition was in
D
Laughing at myself at
what a crying shame
G
What ever happened to
my Greek godly frame

[Chorus 1]
Em         B            C
Cyclamates juicy steaks,
             G
sweet things too
Am             D           G
Aren't always good as they seem
Em             B
Doughy lumps, stomach pumps,
C      G
enemas too
Am
That's what you get
     D            G
when you eat that way

[Verse 2]
G
I read a book on organic foods
C
Jumped on a health food
kick Put me in the mood
D
You may not get to
perfect overnight
G
But on the way you're
feelin' clean out of sight
G
We ate tonight at Fairfax and 3rd
C
We're gonna spread the
news and give you the word
D
We hope that soon you'll
eat like we did today
G
We're mighty thankful now
that H.E.L.P.'s on its way

[Chorus 2]
Em            B
Salad with a special knock
     C             G
you right off your seat
     Am
With carrot juice
   D            G
to wash it all down
Em           B
Yummy carob cookies
        C      G
are an organic treat
     Am
And H.E.L.P.
            D            G
has got the best food in town

G
H.-E.-L.-P. H.E.L.P.

much benefit and peace

[Chorus 3]
Em             B
Hamburgers and hot
      C            G
dogs throw 'em all out
       Am
You'll feel so good
        D           G
you'll jump up and shout
       Em          B
If you haven't why don't
        C        G
you go shopping today
     Am               D
And 'member now that H.E.L.P.'s
        G
on its way
