lyrics

Aw, eat your animal crackers
'Cause my mother told me so long ago
"If you eat your animal crackers
The children in Europe won't starve anymore"
Ha ha hahaha hahaha

Oh, once I went on a diet
A carbohydrate diet ain't nice
'Cause you can't eat animal crackers
So, I'm gonna stay a fatty for all of my life
A ha hahaha hahaha.
But some people think that fatties are nice, yeah

I love eating ice cream
Chocolate, vanilla and butter pecan
But I best love animal crackers
'Cause I love helping my fellow man
Yeah, I really do

Did you ever hear of Alice's Restaurant?
I eat at Alice's Restaurant year after year
She makes an animal cracker pizza
And she gives animal crackers out free with the beer
Oh, let's give Alice a great big cheer
She knows the age of the animal cracker is here
Ah, animal crackers are in this year
Ha ha hahaha
Aw, fa lalalala lala lala

about

Melanie Nashville, Tennessee

Pieces of a career, scattered by the winds of experience and assembled again by the force of love into the most personal and brilliant moments of her musical journey. Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song. Nobody does this better.
