Why Can't I Eat Dessert All The Time?

Proteins build (proteins built), fats protect (fats protect)

Minerals and vitamins prevent

Carbohydrates give you energy to keep you alert

You can't get all of that from dessert

Let's start with minerals and vitamins, better invite 'em in

They stop problems before they start

By helpin' out your bones, your brains and circulation

And cells from your skin to your heart

Now, I got a question, do you like to play?

To run, skip, jump and dance your cares away?

Well, that all takes muscle, so protein's a must

You'll be stronger eatin' some every day-ay

Carbohydrates are like gas for a car

Givin' you energy that gets you where you're goin' from where you are

Fats protect your cells in your brain

And kinda everything, now let me hear you sing

Proteins build (proteins build), fats protect (fats protect)

Minerals and vitamins prevent

Carbohydrates give you energy to keep you alert

You can't get all of that from dessert

No, you can't get all of that from dessert
