Lyrics[]
People say I'm awfully thin
Such a dreadful shape I'm in
But I don't think it's quite as tame as that.
O-o-o-oh!
Frankly, I believe they're jealous
Far too fond of sweet marshmallows
Wishing they were thin and not so fat
O-o-o-oh!
Wishing they were thin and not so fat
Well, my friend, I have to say
Who's to know?
And who's to say?
Who's the one who's really fat or thin?
O-o-o-oh!
Life is really rather crummy
When you haven't got a tummy
Tell me how on Earth I should begin!
Wo-o-ah
Tell me how on Earth I should begin!
Cuz I'm skinny
And I'm not half the man I ought to be
Skinny
You know, I need some food for company
I got to find my other half
But even then, you'll have to laugh
Because whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
Woo!
Whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
Maybe if I saw the quack,
He could help to take me back
To when I lost my appetite for life
O-o-o-oh
When I knock the doctor's door,
He sharpened me along the floor
Thinking I was just a kitchen knife
Wo-oah
Thinking I was just a kitchen knife
Cuz I'm skinny
And I'm not half the man I ought to be
Skinny
You know, I need some food for company
I got to find my other half
But even then, you're gonna laugh
Because whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
Whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
Woo!
Perhaps, I'll just resign myself
Sleeping sideways on the shelf
And count my skinny blessings
One by one
Woah!
Thankful, that I'm not so greedy
Not so fat, or getting seedy
Living off a single current bun
Wo-oah
Living off a single current bun
Cuz I'm skinny
And I'm not half the man I ought to be
Skinny
You know, I need some food for company
I'm gonna find my other half
But even then, you'll have to laugh
Because whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
Whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
Skin, skinny, he's a skinny little man
Whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
Skin, skinny, he's a skinny little man
Whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
Skin, skinny, he's a skinny little man
Whichever way you look at me, I'm skinny
