lyrics

Crisps And Irn Bru

You eat salad at lunchtime,
everyday the same
You dream about chips and mars bars
But know you must stay thin

Cause skinny’s good that’s what they say
Your clothes don’t fit but that’s Ok
You don’t need crisps and irn bru
She don’t need him but he needs you

You’re at the gym every evening
Watch the calories burn
You think you’ve got a beer belly
Beneath your toned, flat tum

Cause skinny’s good that’s what they say
Your clothes don’t fit but that’s OK
You don’t need crisps and irn bru
She don’t need him but he needs you

Sometimes you walk slowly and then you run away before you think about things
Sometimes you ask questions but then you don’t listen,
be sure that you’re never in

And he hopes you are happy
Now you’re a size six
But he wants the old you back
But it’s too late to fix
