The world is my ashtray.
I shall not want To deny myself joy In being this gaunt. I will stay model thin, With help from my friends: Industrial Smog And Smoother Blends. I will drink heady wines And fresh bottled water. I'll avoid lakes and streams And never eat oyster. To avoid salmonella I'll overcook flesh I'll stay out of the sun, To keep myself fresh. I'll be on the cover Of your magazine I'll make love to the camera My hair I will preen. I'll be the object Of all you desire I am the Model To whom you aspire. My cheeks are to envy My doctor's the best. And this is a bosom, Yours - just a chest. Oh, you can judge me For sculpting myself But I'm really living, Not stuck on a shelf. No, I'm not anorexic I know its true. You are just jealous Because you are just you. The world is my ashtray. I shall not want, To deny myself joy In being this gaunt!{/i}
