The Lyrics

You got bumthing that splays and covers three airplane
Seats, so how come for only one you are payin'?
All three are settlin' down,
You'll make 'em flat.
You are a size two-four-o,
Your can's too fat.

Well, the second seat's folding like it was made of tin,
And I'm starting to worry the whole floor will cave in.
Then the plane might go down (might go down)
And we'd go splat (the plane might go down and we'd go splat).
You are a size two-four-o,
Your can's too fat.

Everybody's lean,
Except you, who look like a tub.
You've gotta wean
Yourself from that grub they serve at the pub.

A lean slimmin' spree is what you need to be flyin'.
Be leaving the chow line and lay off deep-fat fryin',
Then you'll get the heft down (get heft down),
Keister'll be flat (get the heft down; keister will be flat).
Into your jeans you'll pour when
Your huge can's flat.

Veggie grub of greens
Is what you should be thinking of.
No in-between-
Meals snacking each day,
No larding your face!

So, peas, lecithin beans, if you want a steak, fine,
But make sure you're peeling off that stout, marbled rind.
For now, they'll heft you down (heft you down)
Where seats aren't at (gonna heft you down where seats aren't at).
Under the cabin floor, stored
In baggage hatch.

ZZ Top ("I'm just lookin' for some tush") might not like it, and Sir-Mix-a-Lot ("I like big butts and I cannot lie") might be "cured," but I liked it.
