Treading lightly in the illustrious footsteps of Samuel L. Jackson, who narrated the [audio version _Go the F-ck to Sleep_](http://www.today.com/popculture/samuel-l-jacksons-reading-go-f-sleep-free-fathers-day-2D79780387), _Breaking Bad_‘s Bryan Cranston will lend his voice to the profane nursery rhyme’s sequel.

The multiple-Emmy-winner, for his role as a chemistry teacher-turned-meth kingpin, will narrate the audiobook of Adam Mansbach’s _You Have to F-cking Eat_, the [AP](http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/bryan-cranston-reads-profane-hit-nursery-rhyme/2014/11/11/be79f08c-69d2-11e4-bafd-6598192a448d%5Fstory.html) reports. It will be [available Wednesday on Audible.](http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/Free-You-Have-to-F-king-Eat-Audiobook/B00P9JHMDK?source%5Fcode=AUDFPPR1104149BIE)

“This is a very funny book and my hope is that listeners will agree that I can swear with just as much panache as Samuel Jackson,” Cranston said in a statement.

If only [Los Pollos Hermanos ](http://breakingbad.wikia.com/wiki/Los%5FPollos%5FHermanos)was a real chain, then those picky kids would eat their dinner.
