Saturday Morning Sing a Long
Chris,
Your success has prompted me to pen a song. It is sung to the tune of
Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive".
Disclaimer: The lyricist wishes to acknowledge that she is aware that weight
gain is the result of many factors including, but not limited to glandular
problems and genetics as well as using food as a means of comforting oneself
as a result of childhood issues. It is simply because it is easier to find
rhyming words associated with gluttony than with physiological disorders
that is the inspiration behind the lyrics.
Once I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without fat on my sides
But I spent so many nights
Eating cheesecake and ding-dongs
Ougrew my thong
Yes, I learned how to pack it on
and then my back
took up more space
I just woke up one day to find
another ten pounds on my face
I should have changed my stupid ways
I should have lost the cupboard keys
If I had known for just one second
I'd be morbidly obese
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to
hurt me and my thighs
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to eat
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got my fat jeans to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
It takes all the strength I have
not to fall apart
when I want to inject
french fries into my healthy heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
No longer morbidly obese
I've dropped a pound or two
and so you lure me with buffets
with the name "Pancake Jamboree"
now I'm saving all my carb points
for good carbs who're loving me
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to
hurt me and my thighs
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to eat
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got my deep fryer to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
Hey, hey....
