The pleasures all mine! and a host of strange foods I will feed you!" Johnny took a little taste of some steamy, spicy soup and his face turned very red as he struggled with a smile he heard a little voice singing softly in his head (and it said) Say no thank you (say no thank you) Say no thank you (say no thank you) If the soup leaves you cold you shouldn't sputter or scold Just say no thank you (say no thank you) Say no thank you (say no thank you) press your napkin to your chin breath out and breath in For in many cases you'll find its true Whats good to someone else may not, taste good to you So when that happens (so when that happens) If that happens (if that happens) Say no thank you Don't pretend that you are choking Don't fall down upon the floor Simply smile, say no thank you Don't run screaming out the door (Johnny??)
