lyrics

There’s some hefty hefty people drinking Diet Coke
Some rather large people that live in hope
Hoping they’ll end up skinny as a post
They’re never gonna get there drinking Diet Coke
Go for a walk go for a ride go for a swim
Swim against the tide
There’s no shot cut to make your body feel great
Get your heart pumping make your legs ache
There’s a lot of skinny people with a quiet smirk
A lot of skinny people with a genetic quirk
Lying on the lounge, lying on their back
Lying to themself when they are so slack
All of you like me who battle with the bulge
Digest and read note what you’re told
The magazines are selling us the same old tune
So how do you choose - chocolate cake or prunes
There’s some hefty hefty people make McDonald’s rich
Some rather large people got the Big Mac itch
Itching for the fries after a hard day’s work
Itching at the bulges underneath the shirt
