| I had three doughnuts and two cups of coffee
 | 
| But that didn’t stop my appetite
 | 
| I had only eaten a box of cookies
 | 
| Very late last night
 | 
| I had ten pancakes, plenty of syrup and butter, and two slices of ham;
 | 
| Three eggs, home fries, and four biscuits, all smothered in jam;
 | 
| Two glasses of milk, and a cheesecake; | 
| I thought I didn’t want any more
 | 
| I just had to buy twelve of those mints in that bowl by the door
 | 
| That is why, that is why … that is why you’re overweight
 | 
| Heh … I wish I had some brains and grits!
 | 
| That is why, that is why … that is why you’re overweight
 | 
| I certainly would like a taste of some of that coffee cake over there!
 | 
| It do look good
 | 
| Lord have mercy!
 | 
| Now it’s lunchtime, and I believe I’ll eat again
 | 
| I’m not gonna eat as much as I did for breakfast, because I want to get thin
 | 
| Let me have a bowl of chile con carne, and two corned beefs on rye;
 | 
| A large order of french fries, a malt, and a slice of banana cream pie;
 | 
| Two candy bars, one soda, for my late-afternoon snack;
 | 
| And-a two bags of potato chips, so I won’t have to come back
 | 
| That is why, that is why … that is why you’re overweight
 | 
| I should have gotten two cheeseburgers with everything on 'em! | 
| Lord have mercy
 | 
| That is why, that is why … that is why you’re overweight
 | 
| I’m gonna go back to eating a bag of peanuts for my snacks
 | 
| Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy
 | 
| While waiting for my dinner
 | 
| I had four shots of alcohol
 | 
| A chef’s salad with lots of dressing and crackers, but not much meat at all
 | 
| Had a steak, candied yams, rice, lemonade, macaroni and cheese
 | 
| Corn bread, banana pudding, and a side order of black-eyed peas
 | 
| I stopped at the grocery store, I’m gonna load up my refrigerator
 | 
| I’m gonna sit down and watch television, and I’ll have something to eat later
 | 
| That is why, that is why … that is why you’re overweight
 | 
| I’ll sure be glad when that pizza is ready!
 | 
| That is why, that is why … that is why you’re overweight
 | 
| I can’t seem to find nothing else in this refrigerator to suit me
 | 
| That is why, that is why … that is why you’re overweight
 | 
| Don’t know what you’re talking about; | 
| I’m going to the smorgasbord,
 | 
| tomorrow and the next day and the day after
 | 
| That is why, that is why … that is why you’re overweight
 | 
| You better signifying with me, talkin' 'bout I’m overweight, 'cause I eat what
 | 
| I want to eat! | 
| Tastes good to me. | 
| Lord have mercy it’s good; | 
| all that food is
 | 
| good! | 
| I wish I had some more to eat. | 
| You’re always talking about overweight,
 | 
| shoot, everybody talkin' bout it … whoever said skinny people’s healthy
 | 
| anyway? | 
| … Gotta eat to live; | 
| anything you eat, you gonna get fat … |
