It is a fact I'm very stout,
Irksome I find to walk about,
Scarcely breath I can bring out,
'Cos I'm too fat to do it.
The boys so very saucy cry
Crikey! there's a prize pig guy,
I cannot catch them though I try,
'Cos I'm too fat to do it.

One day I saw a lovely gal,
Dress'd so neat, not fal-de-ral,
Married be I never shall,
'Cos I'm too fat to do it.
She said do walk a little way,
Something to you I have to say,
I replied, excuse me, pray,
'Cos I'm too fat to do it.

* * *

Around my neck her arms she threw,
Took a kiss, my gold watch too,
I tried to hollo, that couldn't do,
'Cos I'm too fat to do it.
I followed but a little way,
She soon was near a mile away,
A policeman came, not a word could I say,
'Cos I'm too fat to do it.
