HAPPY BEING FAT

HAPPY BEING FAT

Writers: 

Gerry Goffin and Carole King

Lyrics: 

Don't tell me to go on a diet
Don't give me no pills
Just leave me alone with my ice cream cone
And let me eat my fill

I'm happy being fat
I like the weight I'm at
I'm happy being stout
And if you don't like it, you can get on out

If I lost weight, I'd have to buy new clothes
'Cause my old ones would not fit
So, woman, don't scream, just put some more ice cream
On my banana split

I'm happy being fat
I like the weight I'm at
I'm happy being stout
And if you don't like it, you can get on out

I'm forty-two around the waist
And forty-eight around the hips
I'm built like a tent, but, gal, I pay the rent
So don't give me none of your lip

I'm happy being fat
I like the weight I'm at
I'm happy being stout
And if you don't like it, you can get on out
