Lyrics
Since I passed three-fifty
Things ain’t been the same
I just keep getting fatter every day
My girlfriend has left me
My chairs are all broke
My bed springs just screamed and ran away
Meat and potatoes
Twinkies and shakes
I can’t let a meal pass me by
Soon the doors will be too small
For me to go outside
I won’t see the sunshine anymore
Still I can’t beat this weakness
For food that I have
I guess I’ll just eat myself to death
But I can’t go on singing
About this problem I have
The pizza man’s knocking at the door
Repeat first verse
