Have you noticed that your kids are fat?
Am D7
What are you going to do about that?

What are you going to do?
Am D7
So you telling me that your family
Am D7
Has a history of obesity
Am D7
You got a polycystic ovary
Am D7
It’s just the way that God made me
Am D7
It’s unlikely, statistically

To be a physical thing
D7
But either way it don’t explain why you

Are in the cue at Burger King
Am D7
You can blame it on biology

You can say you are an ectomorph
Am D7
That you just can’t get the kilos off

Well you can be what you wanna be

Boombalata kiddie-stuffer
D9 Dm
Have you noticed that your kids are fat?
Am D7
What are you going to do about that?

What are you going to do?
Am D7
So you telling me that your family
Am D7
Has a history of obesity
Am D7
You got a polycystic ovary
Am D7
It’s just the way that God made me
Am D7
But – and in your case
Am D7
There’s a reasonably big butt
Am D7
Do you think it’s an appropriate treat
Am D7
The all-you-can-eat at Pizza Hut?
Am D7
There’s no excuse you silly goose
Am D7
For a child with a caboose
Am D7
Like a moose who’s eaten too much mousse
Am D7
It’s tantamount to child abuse
Am D7
Kick them off the fucking couch
Am D7
Unplug the Playstation
Am D7
Send them down to the park
Am D7
If they don’t wanna go, make ’em
Am D7
Tell them they have to jog
Am D7
Until their jogging shorts fit’em
Am D7
If they hesitate, ask firmly
Am
If they still resist, hit’em

A cut-back on Krispy Kreme doughnuts

And microwave pizza or drive through McDonalds
C G
For weeknightly dinners in front of the TV
C G
And notes to the phys-ed instructor saying

Timmy has asthma but he really just gets short of breath
C G
Cos he’s 35 kilos above the ideal weight
C G C
Of 35 kilos for a nine year old boy
