The first time I drank alcohol It made me feel quite sick But repetition kept it down And now it makes me tick.

The first time I had a cigarette It made me cough and burn But repetition made it fine And now for fags I yearn.

The first time I ate too much food It made me swell and ache But repetition made it fine And now I love my cake.

The first time I watched a tv soap It really seemed a waste But repetition got me hooked And now they are my taste.

The first time I went to a gym My muscles ached for days But repetition got me hooked And now it’s my latest craze.

The first time I really used my brain My head it hurt and throbbed But repetition improved my speed Now thinking is my job.

For all the things that I have tried Ease comes when I persist So the most important choice to make Is which ones to resist!
