Black strap molasses and wheat germ bread 
Makes you live so long you wish you were dead 
Add some yogurt and you'll be well fed 
With black strap molasses and the wheat germ bread

My grandpa's older than the old grey mare 
He sits rocking in his rocking chair 
But now he's got a smile that he can't lose 
Grandma's sitting knitting baby shoes

Makes you live so long you wish you were dead 
Add some yogurt and you'll be well fed 
With black strap molasses and the wheat germ bread 

(Jimmy Durante) 
I gave up cherry pie and t-bone steak 
Chicken fricassee and ice cream cake 
I don't need vitamins or pills at all 
I even mix it with the Hadacol 

I'm eating black strap molasses and wheat germ bread 
Makes you live so long you wish you were dead 
Add some yogurt and you'll be well fed 
With black strap molasses and the wheat germ bread 

(Groucho Marx) 
My nerves were jumpy and I'd walk the floor 
But since I'm eating right I feel okay 
I'm sleeping every night and half the day 

From eating black strap molasses and wheat germ bread 
Makes you live so long you wish you were dead 
Add some yogurt and you'll be well fed 
With black strap molasses and the wheat germ bread 

(Danny Kaye) 
Now I was thinner than a pencil line 
Had no muscles and I had no spine 
But now I'm friskier than a pup 
All you have do is prop me up 

Just feed me black strap molasses and wheat germ bread 
Makes you live so long you wish you were dead 
Add some yogurt and you'll be well fed 
With black strap molasses and the wheat germ bread 

(JD) I know a fella who is ninety two 
(JW) Doctors told the guy that he was through 
(DK) But now that the doctor has been proven wrong 
(GM) He got more hop in him than Hopalong

Makes you live so long you wish you were dead 
Add some yogurt and you'll be well fed
