Hey you, fat man
(Hey you, fat man)
Leave my girl alone
Hey you, fat man
(Hey you, fat man)
Leave my girl alone
If you don't have a girl
Go and get one on your own
All night long you keep bummin' around my home
All night long you keep bummin' around my home
And if you steal my girl, you're gonna leave me all alone, fat man
She's a one man girl, a one man girl alone
She's a one man girl, a one man girl alone
And if you steal my girl, you'll gonna leave me all alone
Hey you, fat man
(Hey you, fat man)
Leave my girl alone
Hey you, fat man
(Hey you, fat man)
Leave my girl alone
If you don't have a girl
Go and get one of your own
Hey you, fat man
(Hey you, fat man)
Leave my girl alone
Hey you, fat man
(Hey you, fat man)
Leave my girl alone
If you don't have a girl
Go and get one of your own
(Fat man)
And if you steal my girl, you'll leave me all alone
(Fat man)
She's a one man girl, a one man girl alone
(Fat man)
You wanna steal my girl, and you'll leave me all alone
(Fat man)
She's a one man girl, a one man girl alone
