First, I was afraid, I was petrified
Thought I'd starve without food by my side
But then I heard the call, the buffet line was near
And I grew strong, knew I had nothing to fear
And now I'm here, with my plate in hand
Ready to conquer, to eat all I can
I'll take my time, enjoy the feast
At this buffet, I'll be the beast
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as there's food to eat, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my plates to fill
I've got all my cravings to fulfill
And I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
It took all the strength I had not to break down and cry
When I saw the endless rows of food, I thought I might die
But I held my head up high
And I marched right to the line
I'm ready to conquer, I won't decline
It's not just about the food, it's about the joy
Of sharing a meal with friends, oh what a ploy
We'll laugh and talk, as we eat our fill
At this buffet, our hearts are full
I will survive, I will survive
Hey, hey
Oh, no, not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as there's food to eat, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my plates to fill
I've got all my cravings to fulfill
And I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
