Sally Eats Shoelaces, Straw And String
Sally eats shoelaces, straw and string
But she won't eat cole slaw or anything
Her mother says is good for her, she says she's had enough
Her father says, "to eat"; she says she stuffed
Sally eats cardboard, sticks and rocks
but she won't eat cream cheese or bagel and lox
They fed her shredded wheat; her lips shut tight
She's as weird as her appetite
She'll suck her thumb, she'll chew on her hair
But no chicken cordon beau, no chocolate eclair
She doesn't care for pears, macaroni and cheese
Oh, she won't try pie, potatoes or peas
I'm telling you children don't be like that
It's no way to weigh less, better to be fat
She eats like a bird--no more like a goat
And nothing good goes down her throat
Sally Come Cordones, Paja y Cordón
Sally come cordones, paja y cordón
Pero no comerá ensalada de col o cualquier cosa
Su madre dice que es bueno para ella, ella dice que ya ha tenido suficiente
Su padre dice, 'come'; ella dice que está llena
Sally come cartón, palos y piedras
pero no comerá queso crema o bagel con salmón
Le dieron trigo triturado; sus labios se cierran firmemente
Es tan extraña como su apetito
Chupará su pulgar, masticará su cabello
Pero no pollo cordon bleu, ni éclair de chocolate
No le gustan las peras, macarrones con queso
Oh, no probará pastel, papas o guisantes
Les digo niños, no sean así
No es la forma de pesar menos, es mejor estar gordo
Ella come como un pájaro--más bien como una cabra
Y nada bueno pasa por su garganta
