Oh, I'm on the Drinking Man's Diet,
It came from a book I was loaned.
It's really terrific and quite scientific
And I'm half stoned.
For breakfast some cornflakes and vodka,
But cornflakes have carbohydrate;
So I don't eat those fattening cornflakes,
I eat the vodka straight.
Drink, drink, everyone drink;
It's not as bad as we used to think.
With every Manhattan your stomach will flatten,
So drink, drink, drink.
The Air Force invented this diet,
A fact which they hotly deny.
Of course they deny it, 'cause this is the diet
That got the Air Force high.
For lunch you can have three martinis,
What better lunch is there than that?
But caution: do not eat the olives,
'Cause olives make you fat.
Drink, drink, everyone drink;
It's not as bad as we used to think.
If pounds you would burn off, then turn on your Smirnoff,
And drink, drink, drink.
For dinner, a nice Scotch and soda
Now that oughtta help you to lose.
No whipped cream, no butter, just lay in the gutter
And booze, booze, booze.
Suppose you should meet a policeman,
Who says you've been quenching your thirst;
You just tell him it's physical fitness
And health comes first!
Drink (hic!), drink (hic!), booze everywhere (hic!);
Pass that decanter of bourbon there.
I'm fatter than ever, but here's what's so clever:
I don't care!

Allan Sherman (30 novembre 1924 – 20 novembre 1973) è stato un cantautore, paroliere e produttore televisivo statunitense noto per le sue parodie musicali degli anni '60. Nato a New York da una famiglia ebrea, Sherman iniziò la sua carriera come scrittore di commedie per il teatro e la televisione. Il suo album d'esordio, *My Son, the Folk Singer* (1962), divenne il disco più venduto fino a quel momento, grazie al successo di brani come "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh", una parodia del celebre *Dance of the Hours* di Ponchielli. Sherman ha continuato a pubblicare album di successo negli anni '60 e '70, caratterizzati da un umorismo intelligente e orecchiabili melodie. Tra i suoi brani più famosi ricordiamo anche "The Ballad of Irving Berlin" e "A Bushel and a Peck". La sua musica ha contribuito a definire l'umorismo musicale americano degli anni '60, influenzando generazioni di artisti.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
