Verse 1
You can say I’m fat
I can handle that
I used to be slim
Unlike the shape I’m in (Now!)
Somehow
I didn’t eat more
I just did less
Than I did before.
Pre-Chorus
I’m fat and I am happy
Not as fit as I could be
But my life is lovely
Sitting on the sofa
Watching TV.
Chorus
I’m glad to be fat
I’m glad to be fat
Verse 2
You can say I’m fat
I can handle that
Had to buy large clothes
The mediums I had to throw
Away, but hey!
Out with the old
In with the new
Now there’s more to hold on to.
Pre-Chorus
I’m fat and I’m happy
Not as fit as I used to be
But my life is lovely
Sitting on the sofa
Watching TV
With my lovely lady.
MUSICAL BREAK
Chorus
I’m glad to be fat
I am glad to be fat
I’m glad to be fat
I am glad to be fat, I am glad to be.
Verse Outro
Okay, I would like
To be slimmer
But I am lazy
And eat big dinners
I am fat (he’s glad to fat)
I am fat (he’s glad to fat)
Now I’ve put on weight
Can’t get rid of it
But I am happy
I can live with it
Now much bigger
Gotta this larger figure
I am now happier
But move less quicklier.
Chorus
I’m glad to be fat
I am glad to be fat
I’m glad to be fat
I am glad to be fat, I am glad to be.

POEM VERSION
You can say I’m fat
I can handle that
I used to be slim
Unlike the shape I’m in
Now, somehow
I didn’t eat more
I just did less
Than I did before.
I’m fat and I’m happy
Not as fit as I use to be
But my life is lovely
Sitting on the sofa
Watching TV.
You can call me fat
I can handle that
Had to buy large clothes
And mediums ones throw
Away, but hey!
Out with the old – in with the new
Now there’s more of me
For you to hold on to.
