Eat It

------

by 'Weird Al' Yankovic

parody of 'Beat It' by Michael Jackson

How come you're always such a fussy young man

Don't want no Cap'n Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran

Well don't you know that other kids are starvin' in Japan

So eat it, just eat it

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate

Don't want to hear about what kinds of foods you hate

You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off you're plate

So eat it

Don't you tell me you're full

Just 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 boiled or fried

Just eat it, just eat it

Just eat it, just eat it Woo!

Your table manners are a crying shame

You're playing 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 as 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

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!

If it's too 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!

Get yourself an egg and beat it!

Have some more chicken. Have some more pie

It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried

Just eat it! Eat it!

Don't you make me repeat it!

Eaten Alive

Diana Ross featuring Michael Jackson

Animal stalking you at night

I'm a sucker for someone

And I got the prey in sight

Lying on a bed of leaves

In the modern times

You forget and let your spirit breathe

Capture me

My blood is red

Another victim of your ritual

For you my skin is shed

Ecstacy ain't what you find

In a modern world

One flick of my tongue

Changes the meaning of the world

And you say

That's impossible

It's not impossible to do, oh

And you digest what I can see

The taste of you can be

I don't wanna get eaten alive

'Cause you're so dangerous

No more hearts I can trust, you see

I don't wanna get eaten alive

To be eaten alive

Eaten alive

I don't ever wanna be

Eaten alive

Now I got you on the run

And the quicker my senses

The chances I'm the faster one

I know the universal law

Primeval times

With a little stimulation

It'll come once more

And you say

That's impossible

It's not impossible to do, oh

And you digest what I can see

The taste of you can be

I don't wanna get eaten alive

'Cause you're so dangerous

No more hearts I can trust, you see

I don't wanna get eaten alive

To be eaten alive

Eaten alive

I don't ever wanna be

Eaten alive

I don't wanna get eaten alive

'Cause you're so dangerous

No more hearts I can trust, you see

I don't wanna get eaten alive

To be eaten alive

Gotta do her

(Eaten alive)

Crawl all over me

(Eaten alive)

You can rip my shirt

(Eaten alive)

Drag me in the dirt

(Eaten alive)

I will be your slave

(Eaten alive)

Anything you say

I don't ever wanna be

Eaten alive

(Oh no)

I don't wanna get eaten alive

'Cause you're so dangerous

No more hearts I can trust, you see

I don't wanna get eaten alive

'Cause you're so dangerous

No more hearts I can trust, you see

I don't wanna get eaten alive

'Cause you're so dangerous

No more hearts I can trust, you see

I don't wanna get eaten alive

(What you're doing to me, hey)

(To be eaten alive)

Gotta do her

(Eaten alive)

Crawl all over me

(Eaten alive)

You can rip my shirt

(Eaten alive)

Drag me in the dirt

(Eaten alive)

I will be your slave

(Eaten alive)

Anything you say

I don't ever wanna be

Eaten alive

(Written and composed by Michael Jackson, Barry & Maurice Gibb)

Heartbreak Hotel

The Jacksons

Live in sin

Ten years ago on this day

My heart was yearning

I promise I would never ever be returning

Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning

As we walked to the room

There were faces starring

Glaring, tearing through me

Someone said welcome to your doom

Then they smiled with eyes

That looked as if they knew me

This is scarring me

We walked up the stairs

Still concealing gloom

There were two girls

(Sitting in my room)

She walked up to my face

Said this is the place

You said meet you right here at noon

This is Heartbreak Hotel

Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel

So this is Heartbreak Hotel

This place is Heartbreak Hotel

Hope is dead

She thought that I had cheated for another lover

I turn my back to see that Im undercover

Now I can't convince this girl there ain't no other

Someone's evil to hurt my soul

Every smile's a trial thought

In beguile to hurt me

This is scaring me

Then the man next door had told

He's been here in tears for fifteen years

This is scaring me

We came to this place

Where the vicious dwelt

Found that wicked women

(Run this strange hotel)

There was Sefra and Sue

Every girl that I knew

And my baby said love is through

This is Heartbreak Hotel

Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel

So evil

(Heartbreak Hotel)

This place is Heartbreak Hotel

Someones stabbin my heart

(Heartbreak Hotel)

This is Heartbreak Hotel

(Heartbreak Hotel)

Ten years ago today

(Heartbreak Hotel)

This is Heartbreak Hotel

(Heartbreak Hotel)

Someones stabbin my heart

(Heartbreak Hotel)

This is heartbreal hotel

(Heartbreak Hotel)

Ten years ago today

(Heartbreak Hotel)

Hurting my mind

(Heartbreak Hotel)

You break my babys heart

(Heartbreak Hotel)

This is Heartbreak Hotel

(Heartbreak Hotel)

On The Line

Michael Jackson

No sense pretending it's over

Hard times just don't go away

You gotta take that chip off your shoulder

It's time you open up

Have some faith

Nothing good ever comes easy

All good things come in due time

Yes it does

You gotta have something to believe in

I'm telling you to open your mind

Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna make it right

Youve got to reach out and try

Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna get it right

Gotta put it all on the line

You see yourself in the mirror

And you don't like what you see

And things arent getting much clearer

Dont you think it's time you go for a change

Don't waste your time on the past, no, no

It's time you look to the future

It's all right there if you ask

This time if you try much harder

You'll be the best that you can be

Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna make it right

Youve got to reach out and try

Gotta put your heart on the line

If you wanna get it right

Gotta put it all on the line

If you wanna make it right

(If you wanna make it right)

And you wanna do it now

(Do it now)

Then you got to try

(Then you gotta learn to try)

And make it work somehow

(Make it work somehow)

No, nothing comes free

And thats just the way it is, now

You gotta go

(You gotta go)

For what you want

(For what you want)

You gotta know what you got to do, oh!

(Do, oh!)

Gotta put love!

On the line !

You and me!

You and me!

Gotta put love!

Gotta put love!

Smooth Criminal 'Moonwalker Version'

Michael Jackson

As he came into the window

Was a sound of a crescendo

He came into her apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet

She ran underneath the table

He could see she was unable

So she ran into the bedroom

She was struck down

It was her doom

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK

Theres a sign at the window

That he struck you

A crescendo, Annie

He came into your apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet

Then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down

It was your doom

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Youve been hit by

Youve been hit by

A smooth criminal

So they came into the outway

It was Sunday

What a black day

Every time I tried to find him

Hes leaving no clues

Left behind him

And he had no way of knowing

Of the suspect

Or what to expect

Mouth to mouth resuscitation

Sounding heartbeats

Intimidations

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Annie, are you OK

So Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

Youve been hit by

Youve been struck by

A smooth criminal

Annie, are you OK

Will you tell us that youre OK

Theres a sign at the window

That he struck you

A crescendo, Annie

He came into your apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet

Then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down

It was your doom, Annie

Annie, are you OK

Are you OK, Annie

I dont know

Somebody's Watching Me

Rockwell featuring Michael Jackson

(Whos watching)

(Tell me whos watching)

(Whos watching me)

Im just an average man

With an average life

I work from nine to five

Hey, hey, Ill pay the price

All I want is to be left alone

In my average home

But why do I always feel like

Im in the twilight zone

And

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

And I have no privacy

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

Tell me is it just a dream

When I come home at night

I bold the door real tight

People call me on the phone

Im trying to avoid

But can people on TV see me

Or am I just paranoid

When Im in the shower

Im afraid to wash my hair

Cause I might open my eyes

And find someone standing there

People say Im crazy

Just a little touched

But maybe showers remind me

Of Psycho too much

Thats why

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

And I have no privacy

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

Whos playing tricks on me

(Whos watching me)

I dont know anymore

Are the neighbors watching me

Well, is the mail man watching me

(Tell me whos watching)

And I dont feel safe anymore

Oh, what a mess

I wonder whos watching me now

(Who)

The IRS

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

And I have no privacy

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

Tell me is it just a dream

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

And I have no privacy

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

Whos playing tricks on me

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

Tell me who can it be

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

Whos playing tricks on me

I always feel like

Somebodys watching me

Can I have my privacy

Blame It On The Boogie

The Jacksons

My babys always dancin

And it wouldnt be a bad thing

But I dont get no lovin

And thats no lie

We spent the night in Frisco

At every kind of disco

From that night I kissed our love goodbye

Dont blame it on the sunshine

Dont blame it on the moonlight

Dont blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie

Dont blame it on the sunshine

Dont blame it on the moonlight

Dont blame it on the good times

Blame it on the boogie

That nasty boogie bugs me

But somehow it has drugged me

Spellbound rhythm gets me on my feet

Ive changed my life completely

Ive seen the lightning leave me

And my baby just cant take her eyes off me

I just cant

I just cant

I just cant control my feet

This magic music grooves me

That dirty rhythm fools me

The devils gotten me

Through this dance

Im full of funky fever

A fire burns inside me

Boogies got me in a super trance

Sunshine

Moonlight

Good times

Boogie

Dont you blame it

You just got to

You just want to

Yeah, oh

Blame it on yourself

Aint nobodys fault

But yours and that boogie

Dancing all night long

(Written and composed by Mick Jackson, D Jackson & E. Krohn)
