(Instrumental & piano into)

They call, they call me the fat man
'Cause I weight two hundred pounds
All the girls they love me
'Cause I know my way around

I was standin'
I was standin' on the corner
Of Rampart and Canal
I was watchin', watchin'
Watchin' those Creole gals

Wah wah wah, wah wah
Wah wah waah, wah wah wah
Wah wah waah, wah wah wah
Wah wah wah

Wah waaa-ah, wah
Wah wah waah, wah wah wah
Wah wah wah, wah wah wah
Wah wah wah

(Instrumental & piano)

I'm goin', I'm goin', goin' away
And I'm goin', goin' to stay
'Cause women and fast life
Train carryin' this soul away.
