The Out-of-Shape Blues

loudspeaker imageListen as Jonathan Taylor runs through the list of sports he'll try to get himself "in shape". The video has subtitles, and the lyrics are below.

LYRICS:
I’ve got the out-of-shape blues
I’ve been eating too many junk foods
My body can’t handle all this abuse
But there’s too many options from which to choose

Healthy eating, sport and regular exercise
Will certainly help to get me galvanized
I need to get in shape right away
If I want to live to see another day

I’m gonna take up baseball and hockey, tennis and golf
Soccer or football, cricket and volleyball
Boxing and wrestling, swimming and jogging too
But definitely not gymnastics; I’d really look the fool

I’ll try ice-skating, skiing and snowboarding
When the snow starts to fall...
And when it rains I’ll stay inside and play
Squash, badminton and basketball

I’ve got the out-of-shape blues
I guess it’s the gym I really need to use...

I’m gonna take up baseball and hockey, tennis and golf
Soccer or football, cricket and volleyball
Boxing and wrestling, swimming and jogging too
But definitely not gymnastics; I’d really look the fool

I’ll try ice-skating, skiing and snowboarding
When the snow starts to fall...
And when it rains I’ll stay inside and play
squash, badminton and basketball

I’ve got the out-of-shape blues
I guess it’s the gym I really need to use...

Oh yeah, now I feel good!
