Let's save the £14.99
And learn to cure ourselves
We'll save a heap of time as well
And have more room on shelves
So (1) let's eat a balanced diet
That's not just sweets and fat
(2) Let's get some sleep at night
And (3) let's buy less tat
(4) Let's work quite hard
But (5) not too much
(6) Make sure we have some fun
Some laughter, treats and such
(7) Let's get some exercise
But (8) not overdo it
(9) Live in the here and now
There should be nothing to it
(10) Let's like where we live
Or work to make that so
(11) Ditch that Joneses thing
Comparisons can go
(12) Look in the mirror now
And who's that gorgeous creature?
(13) We can live with us
A semi-permanent feature
(14) Let's not bottle up
And (15) work guilt through
It's horrible to know yourself
But better to be true
(16) We must find a love
And (17) explore sex fully
(18) We should not be bullied
Or (19) be the bully
(20) Let's find clothes that suit
(21) Be kind to skin
(22) Watch less telly
Go out more and stay in
(23) Enjoy music
It's so good for the spirit
(24) Read a poem now and then
It's not that painful is it?
And (25) if we must
Rot our bodies and our brains
With too much recreation
Then there will be (26) pain
(27) Read widely
But avoid the self-help bibles
(28) They're a waste of space
Not very reliable
(29) Don't take advice
From the dense and glossy quacks
(30) Life gives lessons free
Let's read our own hardbacks
