Letra de That Is Why You're Overweight

(Lord have mercy.)
I had three doughnuts 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, 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 any more
I just had to buy twelve of those mints in that bowl by the door
[Chorus]
That is why, that is why ... that is why you're overweight
[Spoken]
Heh ... I wish I had some brains and grits!
[Chorus]
That is why, that is why ... that is why you're overweight
[Spoken]
I certainly would like a taste of some of that coffee cake over there! It do look good
Lord have mercy!
Now it's lunchtime, and I believe I'll eat again
I'm not gonna 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 corned 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-a two bags of potato chips, so I won't have to come back
[Chorus]
That is why, that is why ... that is why you're overweight
[Spoken]
I should have gotten two cheeseburgers with everything on 'em! Lord have mercy
[Chorus]
That is why, that is why ... that is why you're overweight
[Spoken]
I'm gonna go back to eating a bag of peanuts for my snacks
Lord, Lord, Lord have mercy
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 and cheese
Corn bread, 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
[Chorus]
That is why, that is why ... that is why you're overweight
[Spoken]
I'll sure be glad when that pizza is ready!
[Chorus]
That is why, that is why ... that is why you're overweight
[Spoken]
I can't seem to find nothing else in this refrigerator to suit me
[Chorus]
That is why, that is why ... that is why you're overweight
[Spoken]
Don't know what you're talking about; I'm going to the smorgasbord, tomorrow and the next day and the day after [?]
[Chorus]
That is why, that is why ... that is why you're overweight
[Spoken]
You better [?] signifying with me, talkin' 'bout I'm overweight, 'cause I eat what I want to eat! Tastes good to me. Lord have mercy it's good; all that food is good! I wish I had some more to eat. You're always talking about overweight, shoot, everybody talkin' bout it ... whoever said skinny people's healthy anyway? ... Gotta eat to live; anything you eat, you gonna get fat ...
