Lyrics
Fat Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't wanna be a fat man
People would think that I was just good fun, man
Rather be a thin man
I am so glad to go on being one, man
Too much to carry around with you
No chance of finding a woman, who
Will love you in the morning and all the nighttime too
Don't want to be a fat man
Have not the patience to ignore all that, man
Hate to admit to myself
I thought my problems came from being fat, man
Won't waste my time feeling sorry for him
I've seen the other side to being thin
Roll us both down a mountain and I'm sure the fat man would win
