Lyrics and translation “Weird Al” Yankovic - Eat It

Eat It

How come you're always such a fussy young man?
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan?
So eat it, just eat it

Don't wanna argue, I don't wanna debate
Don't wanna hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it

Don't you tell me you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried

Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

Your table manners are a cryin' shame
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it

You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it

I don't care if you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more Spam
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it's gettin' cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack

If you don't like it, you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
(Oh Lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
(Oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch

Mange-le

Comment se fait-il que tu sois toujours un si petit gourmand ?
Tu ne veux pas de Captain Crunch, tu ne veux pas de Raisin Bran ?
Tu ne sais pas que d’autres enfants meurent de faim au Japon ?
Alors mange-le, mange-le tout simplement

Je ne veux pas me disputer, je ne veux pas débattre
Je ne veux pas entendre parler de la nourriture que tu détestes
Tu n’auras pas de dessert tant que tu n’auras pas fini ton assiette
Alors mange-le

Ne me dis pas que tu es rassasié
Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le
Prends un œuf et bats-le
Prends encore du poulet, prends encore de la tarte
Peu importe si c’est grillé ou frit

Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le
Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, oh

Tes manières à table sont une honte
Tu joues avec ta nourriture, ce n’est pas un jeu
Maintenant, si tu meurs de faim, tu n’auras que toi-même à blâmer
Alors mange-le, mange-le tout simplement

Tu ferais mieux d’écouter, tu ferais mieux de faire ce qu’on te dit
Tu n’as même pas touché à ta casserole de thon
Tu ferais mieux de manger ou ça va refroidir
Alors mange-le

Je m’en fiche si tu es rassasié
Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le
Ouvre la bouche et nourris-la
Prends encore du yaourt, prends encore du Spam
Peu importe si c’est frais ou en conserve

Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le
Ne me fais pas répéter
Prends une banane, prends-en plein
Peu importe ce que tu as mangé pour le déjeuner
Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le
Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le

Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le
Si ça refroidit, réchauffe-le
Prends un gros dîner, prends une petite collation

Si tu ne l’aimes pas, tu ne peux pas le renvoyer
Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le
Prends un œuf et bats-le
(Oh Seigneur)
Prends encore du poulet, prends encore de la tarte
Peu importe si c’est grillé ou frit
Mange-le, mange-le, mange-le, mange-le
Ne me fais pas répéter
(Oh non)
Prends une banane, prends-en plein
Peu importe ce que tu as mangé pour le déjeuner
