[Verse] The FDA banned red dye, Big Candy’s gonna cry, No more glowing cherries in my pie, Now I won’t get cancer and die. [sad instrumental] [Chorus] goodbye red dye number 3 No more neon snacks that lie, **Oh can't you see?** Goodbye to treats that terrify, They took away my red dye Now I'm feeling blue [scream] FEELING BLUE But hey, at least I'll stay alive! [Verse 2] The FDA took its sweet time, Decades of debates, an uphill climb. Big Candy fought tooth and nail, To keep their dyes on sale. Doc says it’s long overdue, It’s a win, but there’s more work to do. Public health champs, we owe you thanks, For calling out snacks that glow [Pre-Chorus] Cancerous dyes and behavioral shakes, We were guinea pigs for decades’ mistakes. [Chorus] goodbye red dye number 3 No more neon snacks that lie, **Oh can't you see?** Goodbye to treats that terrify, They took away my red dye Now I'm feeling blue [scream] FEELING BLUE But hey, at least I'll stay alive! [Bridge] Gummy worms are feeling blue, No more fake fruit, now what'll we chew? Sweetheart, don’t cry, we’ll get through, Just pass the Skittles—oh, wait, they’re doomed too. [Chorus] goodbye red dye number 3 No more neon snacks that lie, **Oh can't you see?** Goodbye to treats that terrify, They took away my red dye Now I'm feeling blue [scream] FEELING BLUE But hey, at least I'll stay alive! [Outro] The FDA said it’s time to go (finally!) Red No. 3, you’re canceled, bro! Big Candy can weep and sigh, But now I’ll live ‘til at least 95. [surprise ending] red number 40, are they coming for you, too?
