Fat Ladies
4 Fat Ladies

Fat ladies in the waiting room
Reading fashion magazines
Do the models and perfumes
Fill them up with skinny dreams?
Fat ladies in their tiny shoes
Pass shop windows in the town
Do the clothes and the mannequins
Pick them up or put them down?
Fat ladies in their beds
Hear their mattresses complain
Does it keep them from their sleep
Calculating loss and gain?
Fat ladies love their cats
Love their children, love their men
Fat ladies love the world
In larger ways than most folks can
Fat ladies watch ‘em dance
They know how to shake it right
From the bottom to the top
From the mornin’ through the night
Fat ladies hear ‘em sing
Hot as fire, cool as ice
Sound like demons in your head
Or angels straight from paradise
Fat ladies love their life
Spite of some folks bein’ unkind
Folks that gives ‘em no respect
Got juicy eyes an’ tiny minds
