SOFT AND ROUND
(Grit Laskin)

Refrain:
Let my stomach be soft and round
Round, round, soft and round
Feels so phony, to work at being bony
And hard as the cold, cold ground, oh
Hard as the cold, cold ground

When a tire is flat, we don't like that
A singer singing flat, is not where it's at
No one likes flat feet, or beer without the fizz
So tell me what good a flat stomach is?

(Refrain)

So once upon a time when humans were new
No one seemed to care what shape they grew
Along came fashion, and it became a sin to be
A little too thick, but never too thin

{Refrain}

There were whale bone corsets to hold the body in
They squeezed all your insides up to your chin
In our life and times, we're not so dumb as that
A surgeon cuts you open and vacuums out the fat

{Refrain}

So I gave up on diets and Nautilus machines
I'm living with the code that's in my genes
Be I plump or thin, whichever way I'm built
Bring on the chocolate cheesecake, to hell with all the guilt

{Refrain}
