Animal Crackers Lyrics - Candles In The Rain/leftover Wine/gather Wine - Melanie

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". 

Oh 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 eat more crackers than anyone can 

(I forgot the words, once, thank you) 

Once I went on a diet 

(That's the Freudian part, is it, when I forget it) 

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 

But some people think that fatties are nice, yeah 

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, ah, animal crackers are in this year 

I wrote this song in Columbus, Missouri. 

I was, had a day off, so I, I wanted to go to the country 

And that wasn't very difficult because the country was 

Columbus, Missouri is the country 

And I walked outside my door and I saw a big cow and I said 

"Oh, moo, you know, don't you, you know that I don't eat cows?" 

And the cow didn't say anything except, "Mm, Melanie" 

And so, and so I wrote him this song, and I wrote it really for all the cows
