With Lizzo, Luke Combs and other "big" people being so popular these days... I thought I'd write this song. I still can't play guitar well enough to perform it..... but if I like yours...... I'll give you a prize from the prize piñata!!!
(To the tune of "I was country, when country wasn't cool" by Barbra Mandrell)
I was chubby, when chubby wasn’t cool
I remember wearing husky Levi’s,
untucked shirts even when they weren’t in style.
I remember eaten with Kenny Rogers,
at the roosters when the chicken was really mild.
I was eaten at the buffet when all my friends
were diggin crescent rolls & Ramen noodles.
I was chubby, when chubby wasn’t cool.
I remember sittin’ in the driveway,
pulling up and woofin’ down rib bones.
I remember when no one was lookin’,
I was putting peanuts in my coke.
I took a lot of kidding cause i never did fit in,
now look at all the chubby’s tryin’ to be what I was then.
I was chubby, when chubby wasn’t cool.
Ooooh, I was chubby, when chubby wasn’t cool.
I was fat from my hat down to my boots.
I still act and look the same,
what I weigh ain’t nothin new.
I was chubby, when chubby wasn’t cool.
They called us fatty daddys for bein’ over weight,
I’m glad we live in a country where we’re all fat in every state.
Hey, I was chubby, when chubby wasn’t cool,
yeah and I was fat from my hat down to my boots.
I still act and look the same,
what I weigh ain’t nothin new.
Cause, I was chubby when chubby wasn’t cool.
Yeah, I was chubby when chubby wan’t cool.
