Rice

 

There's and article of diet

That's enough to cause a riot

You will agree if you try it

It's the Rice

-o-

It's a regular daily winner

Breakfast, supper, tea or dinner

It will make a saint a sinner

All this Rice

-o-

You can boil it and bake it

Grind it, mould it and bake it

No matter how you fake it

Still it's Rice

-o-

You can fry it up with gammon

You can mix it up with a tin of salmon

Even plenty of strawberry jam

Won't even change Changi Rice

-o-

When you wake up in the morning

You won't do the usual yawning

You will just run without a warning

Oh! this Rice

-o-

Even if you are diabetic

It will make you quite athletic

It's a perfect diuretic

Is the Rice

-o-

Ladies when this war is over

Bells will ring from York to Dover

If you want to be in clover

Don't cook Rice

-o-

When your man comes from the Army

Your day will be quite charming

Three words will send him barmy

Have some Rice
