Lyrics

Big Fat Love

It started out when she was small

She was premature, she wasn't nothing at all

Two pounds six ounces, a little pumpkin seed

But she got more love than you ever gonna need

She got big fat love

She got big fat love

She don't eat enough to keep her alive

When she bends over, she's a quarter to five

Skinny little thing, but she ain't afraid

To dance the Watusi on a razor blade

She got big fat love

She got big fat love

Tiny little hands, tiny little nose

Tiny little footsteps wherever she goes

Little bit don't leave no bathtub ring

You pull the plug, she's down the drain

She got big fat love

She got big fat love

She got big fat love

Bigger than me, bigger than you

Bigger than the hippo down at the zoo

Thin is in, stout is out

Big fat love is what I'm talking about

She got big fat love

She got big fat love

She got big fat love

She got big fat love
