The Wellerman's Healthy Hymn

March 15, 2023 by Ryan Mercer

(Verse 1)

There once was a lad with a hearty girth,

Who roamed the land with a belly of mirth,

He knew that a change was needed in pace,

To shed the pounds, he'd soon embrace.

(Chorus)

So bring me greens and fruits to eat,

A healthy meal that's quite a treat,

When the diet's done, we'll all be free,

We'll share our tales of victory.

(Verse 2)

The lad set forth on a journey grand,

To slim his waist and sculpt his hand,

He traded his ale for water pure,

And sugary treats, he'd not endure.

(Chorus)

So bring me greens and fruits to eat,

A healthy meal that's quite a treat,

When the diet's done, we'll all be free,

We'll share our tales of victory.

(Verse 3)

He walked the shores and climbed the hills,

Exercising to test his will,

With every step, his goal drew near,

The weight did fade, replaced by cheer.

(Chorus)

So bring me greens and fruits to eat,

A healthy meal that's quite a treat,

When the diet's done, we'll all be free,

We'll share our tales of victory.

(Bridge)

Yo ho, my friends, we'll sing and dance,

As pounds are shed, we'll take the chance,

To live a life full of good cheer,

A healthy future we'll not fear.

(Verse 4)

And as the days turned into weeks,

The lad's new form began to peak,

His journey's end, it now was clear,

A leaner life, he held so dear.

(Chorus)

So bring me greens and fruits to eat,

A healthy meal that's quite a treat,

When the diet's done, we'll all be free,

We'll share our tales of victory.

(Outro)

Oh, sing with me, the tale of the lad,

Who conquered his weight, now he's so glad,

We'll lift our voices to the sky,

The Wellerman's tune, our battle cry.
