These are the lyrics to 'Fat' by 'Weird Al' Yankovic, a comedic parody of Michael Jackson's 'Bad.' The song contains no profanity, sexual content, violence, drug or alcohol references, or genuinely mature themes. The humor revolves entirely around self-deprecating and exaggerated jokes about being overweight, presented in a lighthearted and absurdist comedic style. The one mild concern is that the repeated emphasis on body size and words like 'fat,' 'pudgy,' 'portly,' and 'stout' could potentially reinforce negative body image or contribute to weight-based teasing in younger children. However, since the narrator is self-aware and self-confident — even expressing pride in his size — the song does not present bullying from an external aggressor but rather owns the subject humorously. The overall message leans toward self-acceptance and comedic absurdism rather than mockery of others. The content is largely suitable for a general audience, though parents of very young or body-image-sensitive children may wish to use light discretion.
Your butt is wide, well mine is too Just watch your mouth or I'll sit on you The word is out, better treat me right 'Cause I'm the king of cellulite Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right My zippers bust, my buckles break I'm too much man for you to take The pavement cracks when I fall down I've got more chins than Chinatown Well, I've never used a phone booth And I've never seen my toes When I'm goin' to the movies I take up seven rows Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on, you know (Fat, fat, really, really fat) Don't ya call me pudgy, portly or stout Just now tell me once again, who's fat? When I walk out to get my mail It measures on the Richter scale Down at the beach, I'm a lucky man I'm the only one who gets a tan If I have one more pie a la mode I'm gonna need my own ZIP code When you're only havin' seconds I'm havin' twenty thirds When I go to get my shoes shined I gotta take their word Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know (Fat, fat, really, really fat) And my shadow weighs forty-two pounds Lemme tell you once again, who's fat If you see me comin' your way Better give me plenty space If I tell you that I'm hungry Then won't you feed my face Because I'm fat, I'm fat, come on (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know (Fat, fat, really, really fat) When I sit around the house I really sit around the house You know I'm fat, I'm fat, come on (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know it (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know, you know, you know, come on (Fat, fat, really, really fat) And you know all by myself I'm a crowd Lemme tell you once again You know I'm huge, I'm fat, you know it (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, you know (Fat, fat, really, really fat) You know I'm fat, I'm fat, you know it, you know (Fat, fat, really, really fat) And the whole world knows I'm fat and I'm proud Just tell me once again, who's fat
