"Fat Boy" lyrics

"Fat Boy"

Well, used to be heavy but now I'm thin
Belly hung over, now my chest caves in
Eyes are glassy and my britches fit me right
My feet are still long and my hair is too
You don't have to move over 'cause I can get through
I won't be a fat boy any more

Well, I couldn't play ball 'cause I couldn't run fast
Never got dates 'cause I never got asked
Couldn't jump high or walk around too long
Couldn't talk too much about the women I had
Friends talked about them made me feel real bad
I won't be a fat boy any more

Girls would tell me that my eyes was blue
Sometimes I told 'em that theirs was too
Said I was funny and sweeter than mama's pie
For many long years I hardly ever got laid
Now I'm [?] 'cause my dues have been paid
I won't be a fat boy any more

Well, I used to go drinking and look for my bride
Walk into parties and the girls would hide
They didn't want no fat boys in they rooms
They always used to tell me we could be good friends
You can sleep on the pallet when the party ends
I won't be a fat boy any more

Now I got a little woman, that I kiss each day
She likes my looks and some of my ways
Glad I ain't a fat boy any more
Her hair's real curly and her eyes real brown
She rubs my belly when I'm laying down
I won't be a fat boy any more

Yeah, I used to be heavy but now I'm thin
Belly hung over, now my chest caves in
Eyes are glassy and my britches fit me right
My feet are still long and my hair is too
You don't have to move over 'cause I can get through
I won't be a fat boy any more
I won't be a fat boy any more
