Fat As A Fiddle
(Difford/Hewerdine)

I’m never thin I’m never svelte
I always wore the bigger belt
I never thought I needed help
Choosing what to eat
Each mouthful a real treat
But when I look to see
There’s a greater part of me

Now I see the men who work at the gym
They have a ripple with every limb
They never have this excess skin
To cover up their age
We’re on a different page
I look like a tree
There’s a greater part of me

It’s so hard to put on my socks
Each morning when I wake
I see myself when I was thin
And the hearts I used to break

Now I have tits just like my mum
I’m out of breath before I run
I like to eat because it’s fun
But it comes as such a price
I’m on the old brown rice
And the herbal tea
For the greater part of me

I always played the boy in goal
Cross country running became a stroll
I was the doughnut and the hole
But inside I felt great
I always licked my plate
My face full of beans
There’s a greater part of me

It’s so hard to put on my socks
Each morning when I wake
I see myself when I was thin
And the hearts I used to break
And it’s so hard to pull in the street
But it never seems too late
It’s so hard
