Thread Name: Songs about being fat, overweight, heavy, obese
Subject: RE: HELP ... 'Fat Songs?
My friend Robert OneMan Johnson wrote this one. I used to sing it more often than I presently do.

I'm Gettin' Thick In The Middle, Gettin' Thin On Top

Time goes by and people change
Their features start to rearrange
The question is, when does this stop?
I'm gettin' thick in the middle, gettin' thin on top

Every mornin' in the mirror
The direct effect of the food and beer
I exercise until I drop
Still I'm gettin' thick in the middle, gettin' thin on top

I'm thin on top
I'm thick in the middle
I used to have a lot
But now there's not much more than a little
I used to have a little round my middle
But now there quite a lot
I'm gettin' thick in the middle, gettin' thin on top

Father time he isn't fair
He erased my waist now he's takin' my hair
I'll keep movin' till I drop
Though I'm gettin' thick in the middle, gettin' thin on top

I'm thin on top
I'm thick in the middle
I used to have a lot
But now there's not much more than a little
I used to have a little round my middle
But now there quite a lot
I'm gettin' thick in the middle gettin' thin on top
