It's somewhere on this site if not in the DT, and is a sort of parody of All Around My Hat Just put "All around my fat" in the search box. |

Micca, do you sing this one, too? -Joe Offer- 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 the 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! |

She was afraid that her father would laugh. She was afraid of the taunts in the classroom For her new bra, size A (less a half!) It was an over-shoulder-boulder-holder That she wore for the first time today. An over-shoulder-boulder-holder, And in her bedroom she wanted to stay. |
