lyrics
It's getting hard to move my hips
Out from underneath all these bags of chips
It's getting hard to see my toes
'Cause I've eaten way too many Oreos
They call me a pig
Tell me I should go to fat camp
They call me a pig
But I'm really just a big ham
I once ran a mile, in a dream
But in real life I run on Krispy Kreme
America runs on Dunkin, so do I
But I started a fire with the friction between my thighs
They call me a pig
Tell me I should go to fat camp
They call me a pig
But I'm really just a big ham
I'm so fat
No one wants to drill me
I stepped on the scale
It said, "Bitch, stop tryin' to kill me!"
I could lose a drug dealer in my ass crack
I'm 5'2"
When I'm lying on my back
They call me a pig
Tell me I should go to fat camp
They call me a pig
But I'm really just a big ham
They call me a pig
Tell me I should go to fat camp
They call me a pig
But I'm really just a big ham
Hey, uh...
You gonna eat that?
