Fat Man (Top Gear BBC Radio session recorded on 16/6/69 and broadcast on 22/6/69) Songtext
von Jethro Tull

Don′t want to be a fat man
People would think that I was just good fun, man
Would rather be a thin man
I am so glad to go on being one, man


Too much to carry around with you
No chance of finding a woman, who
Will love you in the morning and all the nighttime too

Don't want to be a fat man
Have not the patience to ignore all that
Hate to admit to myself
I thought my problems came from being fat

Won′t waste my time feeling sorry for him
I've seen the other side to being thin
Roll us both down a mountain and I'm sure the fat man would win
