Story Behind The Song
My better half remarked that I was cooking to many nice mals and he was starting to find his pants no longer fit.
I thought about that, and promptly wrote this song.
tony Quarrington decided that he'd like to sing it, and here you have it.

Lyrics
1) I used to be thin, I used to be trim ...
All my friends used to call me "slim"
Then I got working at an IT job
Now they call me a big, fat, slob
Then I got working at an IT job
Now they call me a big, fat, slob
Donuts for breakfast, donuts for lunch
Have expanded my waistline a great big bunch
Burgers for dinner, peanuts for snacks
I no longer fit in my favorite slacks
Burgers for dinner, peanuts for snacks
I no longer fit in my favorite slacks
12 bar Instrumental break
I went to my doctor and asked what to do
'Cause my big belly was makin me blue
He said " stop eating them hi cal snacks
Then you will fit in your favorite slacks"
He said " stop eating them hi cal snacks
Then you will fit in your favorite slacks"
