What yes, we want to do a song now
It's about a girl
Called flat Fabiani who was incredibly big [G] she was just about 16 stone
And there's a bebop song when everybody's joining
Do a little bit of bebop, bebop boogie jazz, alright
[Bm] [G]
[D] [Am] [G] Flat Fabiani was incredibly big, she was just about [D] 16 stone
[G] And then a pig died, fish went [C] to boil her on a diet, now she looks like skin of bone
She looks like skin of bone
[A] [G] Do a little meditation on yoga, she's on her [Em] way to good [D] food guy
She's giving up the alcohol abuse and cannabis, now she looks like she's ready [G] to die
You gotta see her walk by, she don't eat no mashed potatoes, she [E] don't eat [Bm] no [G] butterscone
She don't eat no carbohydrate, she's gonna look like skin of bone
[E] [G] Living on the edge of [Em] salvation She says [D] [G] She

[G] Put your hands up in the ceiling
Then hips [Bm] and touch [G] up
Do you think that exercise?

Don't eat no carbohydrate
Don't eat no butterscone
Get away from mashed potatoes
You're gonna look like skin of bone
