Osteoporosis
English lyrics
1st verse: (Doctor) I say to drink your milk, just drink your milk. You need it for strong bones and teeth. [Tell me! Tell me!] Drink your milk, just drink your milk. You need it for your calcium. [Tell me! Tell me!] If you do not drink your milk, You will be in bad shape indeed. [Tell me! Tell me!] And then your bones and teeth will start to rot, And you will start to feel very weak. [Tell me! Tell me!] And you'll get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] And you'll get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] (Patient) Well now doctor, with all due respect, You're reasoning's severely flawed. [Tell me! Tell me!] When the milk companies say we need milk, The judges say they break the law.¹ [Tell me! Tell me!] Many Asians and Black Africans, They can't digest their milk, you know.² [Tell me! Tell me!] And Bantu women often have ten kids, Though their calcium intake is low.³ [Tell me! Tell me!] They don't get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] They don't get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] (Solo) (Patient) They don't get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] They don't get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] 2nd verse: (Doctor) I say to drink your milk, just drink your milk. You need it for strong bones and teeth. [Tell me! Tell me!] Drink your milk, just drink your milk. You need it for your calcium. [Tell me! Tell me!] If you do not drink your milk, You will be in bad shape indeed. [Tell me! Tell me!] And then your bones and teeth will start to rot, And you will start to feel very weak. [Tell me! Tell me!] And you'll get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] And you'll get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] (Patient) Well now doctor, many studies show That when you eat too much protein, [Tell me! Tell me!] Then your body throws out calcium No matter how much calcium you eat.4 [Tell me! Tell me!] With salmonella, protein, pesticides, Your milk could make me very ill. [Tell me! Tell me!] Hey doctor, if I need more calcium, I think I'd rather take a pill. I won't get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] I won't get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] I won't get osteoporosis. It's the weakening of the bones. [Tell me! Tell me!] I won't get osteoporosis.
