lyrics
I started a diet last week
It's going pretty well; I almost lost a pound
I walk around the block for ten minutes every other day
I should treat myself to a chocolate ice cream mound
Just you wait, I'll lose the weight
So, what's the harm in eating a pizza whole?
My friends say I'm in denial
But I've never been to Egypt
So, what the hell do they mean?
I must be getting thin, cause it says that I weigh zero pounds
Wait, never mind, I just broke the scale
I should jog, but I don't wanna, I'll do twice as much tomorrow
For now, I've got this sheet cake I must inhale
My shirts hug my skin; I'm just too big to fit
Well, you've heard the old saying
You'll get fatter before you get thin
My friends say I'm in denial
But I've never been to Egypt
So, what the hell do they mean?
Big, big, big, big
Big, big, big, big bones
My friends say I'm in denial
But I've never been to Egypt
Friends say I'm in denial
But I've never been to Egypt
So, what the hell do they mean?
It's going pretty well; I almost lost a pound
I walk around the block for ten minutes every other day
I should treat myself to a chocolate ice cream mound
Just you wait, I'll lose the weight
So, what's the harm in eating a pizza whole?
My friends say I'm in denial
But I've never been to Egypt
So, what the hell do they mean?
I must be getting thin, cause it says that I weigh zero pounds
Wait, never mind, I just broke the scale
I should jog, but I don't wanna, I'll do twice as much tomorrow
For now, I've got this sheet cake I must inhale
My shirts hug my skin; I'm just too big to fit
Well, you've heard the old saying
You'll get fatter before you get thin
My friends say I'm in denial
But I've never been to Egypt
So, what the hell do they mean?
Big, big, big, big
Big, big, big, big bones
My friends say I'm in denial
But I've never been to Egypt
Friends say I'm in denial
But I've never been to Egypt
So, what the hell do they mean?
