1
00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:04,360
HARMONISE
FOOD AND EXERCISE

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,160
CHILDREN SHOULD LIVE
LIGHTER LIVES

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,760
Since days of yore, to parents proud,

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,200
After hours of pain so distressing!

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,640
A baby weighing at least 5 kilos 

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,720
Straight from the womb shows its nose.

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,360
Look at the little darling:

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,440
Parental bliss is overflowing.

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,120
He'll be a big man one day.

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,080
The envious say:

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,480
"He's pudgy."

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,480
Small children will be growing,

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,400
Often with some rowing.

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,760
Now he wants no meat, now no sauce,

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,920
Sometimes he refuses pudding. 

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,720
Sorrow clouds his mother's eyes

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,000
This could be Grandma's demise.

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,840
Plead or trick, nothing helps.

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,320
"I won't eat my soup!" he yelps.

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,320
The cause for the parents' worry

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,680
Is this, very plausibly:

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,400
The little one isn't hungry.

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,120
He's had enough, he's healthy.

24
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,880
But soon the child caves in for good

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,800
And finally does what he should.

26
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:24,520
Parental pressure is successful.

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,880
He lets them feed his body full.

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,880
Other children can't be stopped
When the sun shines out of doors.

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,840
But he is fat, just like his folks.

30
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,080
He eats and sits and drinks and snores.

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,160
Exercise, he deplores

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,480
School is more like chores.

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,600
Moving his limbs fills him with dread.

34
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,240
He has a full stomach but an empty head.

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,920
Good parents, hear me out.

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,960
It's bad when a child's fat. 

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,800
The way to the heart
Isn't through the stomach.

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,600
Instead of candy,

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Love is dandy.

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,600
Parents should lead the way.

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560
Move your mind and body, I say,

42
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,040
To keep life's hard blows at bay.

43
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,040
Youthful, too, you'll stay.

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,600
So remember, it is swell
To stay active and eat well.

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,240
Food and exercise

46
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,640
Must harmonise.

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,680
