I had three donuts and two cups of coffee
But that didn't stop my appetite
I had only eaten a box of cookies very late last night
I had ten pancakes with plenty of syrup and butter
And two slices of ham
Three eggs, home fries, and four biscuits all smothered in jam
Two glasses of milk and a cheesecake
I thought I didn't want anymore
I just had to buy twelve of those mints in that bowl by the door

That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
Now its lunch time and I believe I'll eat again
I'm not going to eat as much as I did for breakfast
Because I want to get thin
Let me have a bowl of chile con carne and two corn beefs on rye
A large order of french fries, a malt
And a slice of banana cream pie
Two candy bars, one soda for my late afternoon snack
And ah, and ah, two bags of potato chips so I won't have to come back

That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
While waiting for my dinner, I had four shots of alcohol
A chef's salad with lots of dressing and crackers, but not much meat at all
Had a steak, candied yams, rice, lemonade, macaroni cheese
Cornbread, banana pudding and a side order of black-eyed peas
I stopped at the grocery store
I'm gonna load up my refrigerator
I'm gonna sit down and watch television and I'll have something to eat later

That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
That is why, that is why, that is you're overweight
