Millions are now exercising
millions can't be wrong,
it's up to you,
do something too,
and you'll get big and strong.

Keep fit, take exercise,
keep fit
and you'll be wise,
that's it,
grow twice your size,
whatever you do
keep fit.
Keep fit and take the air,
don't flit
to your arm chair,
you'll get
no medals there
whatever you do, keep fit.
Punch that bag
as if you're punching
your opponent's head,
skip around
it might rebound
and knock you out instead,
Keep fit,
now bend your knees
don't sit
be careful please,
you'll split
your doh ray me's
whatever you do
keep fit.

Keep fit
up on your toes
that's it
each movement shows,
your bit
of muscle grows,
whatever you do keep fit.
Now skip,
an hour or more,
don't slip
across the floor,
into
the pub next door,
whatever you do keep fit.
Punch that bag
as if you're punching
your opponent's head,
skip around
it might rebound
and knock you out instead,
Keep fit,
you're doing swell,
pull up,
that big dumb bell,
pull up
your shorts as well
whatever you do keep fit.

Twist and bend
in all positions
never mind the strain,
get in a knot
don't care a jot,
if you can't
get out again.

Keep fit
dodge in and out,
swing rights and lefts about
each hit
a mighty clout,
whatever you do keep fit.
You call
at your girl's flat
just call
to have a chat
that's all,
you stop at that,
whatever you do keep fit.
Punch that bag
as if you're punching
your opponent's head,
skip around
it might rebound
and knock you out instead,
No place
like bed at all,
in case
you hear love's call,
your face
turn to the wall,
whatever you do
keep fit.

Keep fit, take exercise,
keep fit
and you'll be wise,
that's it,
grow twice your size,
whatever you do
keep fit.
Keep fit and take the air,
don't flit
to your arm chair,
you'll get
no medals there
whatever you do, keep fit.
Punch that bag
as if you're punching
your opponent's head,
skip around
it might rebound
and knock you out instead,
Keep fit,
now bend your knees
don't sit
be careful please,
you'll split
your doh ray me's
whatever you do
keep fit.
