It’s the day after Christmas
and all through the house,
no one was eating,
they were all eaten out.

A little bird told them
they had not a care,
if only they could diet,
the weight wouldn’t be there.

But this Christmas was different,
it came in a flash,
that dieting alone
was just a rehash.

Of everything tried
in years gone past,
with nothing to show for it,
no weight loss that lasts.

So the day after Christmas
guess what did happen,
they broadened the formula
with psychology as a wrap in.

It’s one Christmas later,
and much to their surprise,
their new psychology did it,
it opened their eyes.

Many pounds lighter,
what a difference it made
to include psychology
and not feel betrayed.

By dieting and exercise
year after year
with nothing to look forward to
and everything to fear.

Take heart all ye women
who long to lose weight,
there’s nothing like psychology
to make you feel great.

And you’ll be happy to exclaim
from one Christmas to the next,
weight loss is mine
and that’s no pretext.

So snug in your new bod
you can forever be,
without disaster and misfortune
safe n’ sound through eternity.

Happy day after Christmas to all
and to all a good life.
