Sounds like one of the verses from '16 stone'.
SIXTEEN STONE (Hazel Absalom)
She weighs 16 stone and what do you get, A whole lot of woman and that's a fact. Take a closer look, you must agree, There's no sharp corner on a woman like me!
You can't cuddle up to a bag of bones, If her ribs stick out, leave her well alone. We've a soft welcome for a man in need, We're surely built for comfort if not for speed!
Cho: She weighs 16 stone and what do you get, A whole lot of woman and that's a fact. Take a closer look, you must agree, There are no sharp corners on a woman like me!
Well if you've seen more meat on a greasy spoon, She won't keep you warm, get rid of her soon. So come on guys, if you're down in the dumps, Better get your arm around a gal with bumps.
Well the magazines say be skin and bone, But big girls never have to sleep alone, We don't disappear when we turn on our side, And there's plenty of suspension for a bumpy ride
Well if you see us coming better step aside, A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died. One gives you desire, the other a thrill, If the tall ones don't get you then the small ones will!

Then there's the parody I wrote....
All Around My Fat Lyrics by: Penny Ward (submitted by Micca) Tune: All around my hat (Traditional)
Chorus: All around my fat I will wear the Playtex Girdle And all around my fat For an evening and a day And if anyone should ask me The reason why I'm wearing it It's all for my true love Who thinks I'm built this way
Verse 1 Take half a pound of talcum And a small jar of Vaseline A shoehorn comes in handy It's the biggest you've ever seen! You put it all together And you will plainly see I'm a different shape completely And in abject agony
Chorus
Verse 2
The other night he bought me A small box of lingerie All frothy lace and satin The colour of ivory I went to change and left him Anticipating hedony So much for Janet Reger I can't get them past my knees!
Chorus
Verse3
Fare thee well Weight Watchers And fare the well the step class Three stone have I gained And my waistline I have lost I'll eat and I'll be merry Dispense with guilt and calories I'll stuff the sodding 'F' plan It's a fry up for me tea!
