Lyrics Skin and Bone - The Kinks

Fat Flabby Annie was incredibly big
She weighed just about 16 stone
And then a fake dietician went and put her on a diet
Now she looks like skin and bone
She looks like skin and bone

Do the meditation and yoga
And she's thrown away the good food guide
And she's given up the alcohol and pizzas and the pies
And now she looks like she's ready to die
You can't see her walk by

She don't eat no mashed potatoes
She don't eat no buttered scones
Stay away from carbohydrates
You're gonna look like skin and bone (skin and bone)

Living on the edge of starvation
And she says she's got no appetite
And her father and her mother and her sisters and her brothers
Couldn't see her when she walked by
You can't see her walk by

She don't eat no mashed potatoes
She don't eat no buttered scones
Stay away from carbohydrates
You're gonna look like skin and bone

She used to be so cuddly
She used to be so fat
But, oh, what a sin 'cause she's, oh, so thin
That she lost all the friends that she had
She looks like skin and bone (skin and bone)

Bones, like bones, like skin and bones
Like bones, like bones, like skin and
Bones, like bones, like skin and bones
Like bones, like bones, like skin and
Bones, like bones, like skin and bones
Like bones, like bones, like skin and-

If you look flabby and you feel overweight
And you wanna lose a couple of stone
Take a crash course diet, do your daily exercises
And you'll look like skin and bone
Come on rattle them bones

Put your hands up to the ceiling
Bend your hips and touch your toes
Do your daily exercises
You're gonna look like skin and bone

Don't eat no mashed potatoes
Don't eat no buttered scones
Don't eat no carbohydrates
You're gonna look like skin and bone, skin and bone

Skin and bones, like bones, like skin and bones
Like bones, like bones, like skin and bone
