I was daydreamin' when I wrote this.Forgive me if I blunder, man.
But when I woke up this mornin'
Coulda sworn I was in Onederland.
The birds were all singin’,
I was dancing in my underwear
Before I was all chubby,
But now I feel as light as air.
You know two thousand and one zero’s coming,
And I feel like I’m doing fine.
Soon I'm gonna party like I’m one-hundred-99.
I was dreamin' when I started,
Never thought that I would reach this dream.
Now I’ve lost all those pounds,
But I’ve gained a lot of self-esteem.
People are all talkin’,
They’re saying that I’m looking great.
It’s never fun 2 diet,
But it’s sure fun losing weight.
They say two thousand one zero–party on,
Yeah, it’s my time.
And I’m just gettin’ started cuz I’m one-hundred-99.
Lemme tell ya somethin'
If U didn't come 2 get healthy,
Don't bother followin’ my site.
I got a lion in my heart,
And baby, he's roarin’ tonight.
Yeah, everybody's got a blog,
We could all diet every day.
Thrilled I made this magic happen,
Glad I danced my ass away.
They say two thousand one zero–party on,
Yeah, it’s my time.
So tonight I’m gonna party cuz I’m a-hundred-99.
Dedicated to all my friends who are making (or have made) that magical trip to Onederland.
My new theme song! This is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHa! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWay too great!!!!!! Loved it & yes, being fit & healthy feels great & raises that self-esteem! I love when the guys half my age start checking out their arms to see what they can do to get them like this old fart's arms.. hey, hard work but the payoff is great both health wise & more!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jack for all your hard work!
I really loved this one Jack felt like it was wrote for me. I sadly didn't make it last night to the promise land but I'm going to do it next week for sure. I'll be sure to come and sing your song too *smile*. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like this one.
ReplyDeleteBut Prince is gonna kick your ass! ;)
Great job! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my new anthem!!! I can hear it in my head over and over. When I hit 199 - oh so soon - I can almost taste it - I am linking to this post :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for making me smile today.
Hey JS!
ReplyDeleteAren't you glad that Prince changed his name back?
Congrats, Dude! I really am very happy for you!

I'll save a seat for you here :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously taleneted lyricist! Congrats on the milestone. Thanks for the giggles!
ReplyDeletePERFECT... this is for Lisa today!! She just got there :) Love it Jack!
ReplyDeleteLove love love it. And yes, I did dance in my underwear! It wasn't pretty :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! This is great! When I started out, my first long-term goal was just to get below two-hundred pounds. That was my mantra. I pretty much did dance around when I met that goal. So, I can relate to this!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Probably going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day!
Also, thanks for the comments on my blog! I appreciate them! :)
LOL... this takes me back a few years...
ReplyDeleteI cannot WAIT for 199!
And the hits just keep comin'! Jack, I was doing crunches the other day while listening to David Bowie's greatest hits. "Changes" was playing and I kept singing it as, "ca, ca, ca CRUNCHES, time to face the pain." I was cracking myself up while trying to crunch, but since I lack your creative talent, that's as far as I got. If you read the original lyrics, it's custom-made for a Jack Sh*t rewrite. Consider this a request from a fan!
ReplyDeletewhoo hoo! Great Onderland theme song!
ReplyDeleteI made it once and I'm on my way back!
ReplyDeletecute jack. I love prince, maybe you could do one to little red corvette that I could sing in my head while I do the precor.....has a good beat and you can dance to it.
ReplyDeleteYippeeeeee damned skippeeeeee!! Very funny, but Prince isn't gonna be pleased that you're getting skinny and will be taking his place on the hit parade.
ReplyDeleteFrom now on I want to be called the flogger formerly known as FD.
ReplyDeleteI never could figure out how Prince got som many women. I met him. He is like 5'4".
Quality, not quantity FD!
ReplyDeleteAnother great one, Jack!
I was humming Little Red Corvette when I saw your title, too. Great rewrite of the song, though. :)
ReplyDeleteor $$$ Karen...
ReplyDeleteLove it Jack - you are an endless fountain of wit!
fantastic rewrite Jack
ReplyDeleteUm, Jack? I'm reading your weigh-in list of weights, which looks like this:
ReplyDeleteWeek 22 223.5 - -1.5 lbs.
Week 23 223.1 - +0.4 lbs.
Perhaps you've already clarified this, but is 223.5 to 223.1 a .4 lb weight LOSS? Did you already explain this somewhere?
Thanks for pointing out my sucky mathy skillz.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you were going to write about "Raspberry Puree".
ReplyDeleteFREAKIN LOVING THIS!! WILL DEFINITELY BE FOLLOWING!
ReplyDeleteCome check me out... I think you'll like my message, as it directly relates to what you're doing!
