Fat Bellied Lady

from The Fat Lady Sings by Gurdan Thomas

/

lyrics

She's a fat bellied lady, she's a pot bellied lady and she's going to have a baby.
And she's got a craving, for strawberries and gravy, with cheese sprinkled on top, no wonder she's sick in the morning

She'll let it out, she'll let it out, she'll let it out oh no
Gonna let it out, gonna let it out gonna let it out oh no
She'll let it out, she'll let it out, she'll let it out oh no
Do we really need another mouth to feed?
Surely we're enough, especially with our greed?

And she's hoping it won't be, another messiah, for that will be sure to ruin her christening plans.
She's hoping it will become, a godlike Celebrity, and all will bow down and attempt to turn into her baby, but only until it falls.

But she's so beautiful, those red eyes staring over at me, perhaps I'll order my very own, pelican baby,
And think of all those parties, and all those dirty nappies,
On second thoughts perhaps I'll steer clear, of anything so dear.
