Here it is...........

SOMEWHERE OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE
Words, Allan Sherman; music, Harold Arlen, "Over the Rainbow" original lyrics by Yip Harburg, 1939)
As recorded by Allan Sherman on "My Son, The Box" (2005) and "Nutty But Nice" (2019)

Somewhere, overweight people,
Just like me,
Must have someplace where folks don't count every calorie.

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
Way up tall,
There's a land where they've never heard of cholesterol.

Where folks can eat just what they want
And still be slim and trim and gaunt,
You'll find me,
Where every little thing I taste
Won't wind up showing on my waist,
Or worse--behind me.

Somewhere, overindulging
Is divine.
If their waistlines aren't bulging,
Why then, oh why does mine?

If bluebirds weighed as much as I
You'd see some big fat bluebirds in the sky.
