I was greeted in my myspace inbox this morning by an lovely question from a random stranger.  He asked me if all that fire would "burn the fat off your big azz."  There was a time and a place where I would have been deeply hurt by such a comment, but as you read in my last blog post, I now know that I kick ass.  Even with a fat ass, I still kick ass. 

Also-- I may be fat, but you're ugly and I can lose weight! 

Attached for your listening and reading enjoyment is "I'm sorry that I got fat, I was slimmed down." This is one of my favorite Wesley Willis songs. 

Oh, and when I got back from burning man, I weighed myself and found out I have lost 30 lbs since the last time I checked.  Sounds like all that fire really does burn the fat off my big "azz."

I'm sorry that I got fat, I was slimmed down
by Wesley Willis and the Wesley Willis Fiasco
Mp3 of this song so you can sing along!

This is a song that ima rap about--
It's called "I'm sorry that I got fat-- I was slimmed down."
This is the song that was reminding me,
that I am fixing to lose weight and go on a strict diet.

The first time when I got fat,
I was eating those FATTY hamburgers, fries, and all dat.
That's why ima do sumthin' bout it right now,
and this is the song that I just wrote about--
I'm sorry that I got fat, I was slimmed down.
So here it go right now:

Before I got fat, I was slim.
That was this time that I was eating MACdonald's.
I kept eating MACdonald's
for 5 years... from 1987 to 19...........91.
That's when I became fat.
 A year later, I'm doing something about it.

[chorus]
I'm sorry that I got fat,
I'm sorry that I got fat,
I'm sorry that I got fat,
I was slimmed down.
[/chorus]

I been trying to lose weight,
but it's time taking--you spend time taking--
but I'm fixin' to stay away from Wendy's, Burger King, and MACdonald's, plus White Castles.
That's what I'm going to do and that's that!

[chorus]

I'm getting tired-- of eating MACdonald's.
That's the same as I'm tired of eating--
Wendy's, Burger King, White Castle, and other places.

Let me tell you when and how I am losing weight.
[chorus]

From now on, I'm staying away from fatty foods.
I'm eating healthy foods and going on a strict diet.

[chorus x 3]

[repeat] I will slim down

---Rock over London

Rock on Seattle

Burger King-- Have it your way.
