Eat it slow Batya Witenberq and Joshua Kronengold To the tune of "Play it Slow", by Echoes Children Eat it slow, eat it slow! It's so dark and rich and tender It will give you indigestion; eat it slow, you know It's got nuts that you could choke on, it will spoil your taste for dinner And I know I'll get to have some if you'll only eat it slow We are served a chocolate cake and while I'm savoring a mouthful, You have gulped your first taste down, and then your smile goes very wide; I have closed my eyes in bliss, but when I open them, I'm doubtful For your smile hasn't changed, but now you've half the cake inside. Eat it slow, eat it slow.... I scrape the melted frosting up and glare across the table -- Now I know you've got a sweet tooth and the fastest spoon in town But I much prefer to savor food as long as I am able When I take that big a serving, I can never get it down! old, josh's alt verse 2: So I scrape the melted frosting up and guard my half while eating, Now I know your instincts tell you "when you finish first, you've won." But it's quality that matters. Haste in taste is waste and fleeting, If you want, we'll order seconds, just as soon as I am done.
