I'VE PAID FOR IT
I'm fully paid up and, on my cruise,
just got to ensure I get what I'm due
I'll fill up my plate and pile it up high
even though my tum's smaller than my eye
Although you can eat until very late
I'll push and I'll shove to fill up my plate
The day's broken up when you're at sea
with breakfast lunch, dinner and tea
Hot chocolate and snacks served until dawn breaks room service fulfils each demand you make
One really can eat twenty-four seven
paradise for a glutton or a gannet’s heaven
Around the ship can be heard the same old ditty
I've paid for it so I'll have it you see
So, what if my clothes appear to have shrunk
I've got plenty more in my spare trunk.
