Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A hardly has an appetite and pokes at food too long
And B can barely bother because all the food is wrong
C likes only candy and chocolate by the box
D is just disinterested in anything you've got
[Verse 2]
But E eats everything, yeah, E eats everything
E eats everything, yeah, E eats everything
[Verse 3]
So toss it on a plastic plate or stick it with a fork
Serve it with a shovel or serve it on a spork
[Verse 4]
Yeah, E eats everything, yeah, E eats everything
[Verse 5]
F is far too fussy and only eats with fancy wine
G eats only gourmet but never can decide
H burns food, so horrible, all I taste is smoke
J just likes drinking juice and K drinks only soda
[Verse 6]
But E eats everything, yeah, E eats everything
[Verse 7]
E is eating in a moving car, E's eating upside-down
E is eating on a spaceship, E's eating off the ground
[Verse 8]
L and M and N and P won't start 'til O arrives
Q and R and S and T are wearing clothes much too tight
U and V and W are worn out from this song
And X and Y just will not share and will not get along
[Verse 9]
But E eats everything, yeah, E eats everything
[Verse 10]
But look out now, here it comes, that final letter Z
Now, Z's not like the other letters, Z's only eatin' Es
[Verse 11]
Yeah, Z eats Es, yeah, Z eats Es
Z eats Es, yeah, Z eats Es
