Bigfellas

Everybody nowadays is obsessed with their weight
the oversized folk get no peace
all the women think looking normal's size eight
and a pound over that is obese.
Body shaming's the fad, it's annoying and sad
for the people who do not conform
and being sexy's allied to a particular size
and bigger means you're not the norm.
How come Barry White, 'Walrus of love' did alright,
Demis Roussos was built like a truck,
the girls at their concerts all fainted and swooned
seems to me these guys had all the luck.
So fellahs, if you find you're all by yourself
and tired of being alone,
take a leaf from their book and get down off the shelf
just put on another twelve stones.
