No One Loves A Fat Man 1908

Sam Jones was black as a fun'ral hack,
And three feet wide across his back.
And he weighed three hundred pounds
as folks do say.
He couldn't run,
And he couldn't walk,
So he waddled round,
Like a load of pork,
To reduce his weight,
He tried in every way.
The folks round town would always laugh,
When he would try to spoon.
They called poor Sam a fatted calf,
and a big blown up balloon.
Oh he grew so fat,
That his one best girl,
Went and shook him in disgust.
Then he said: "Oh Hell!
Now I hope I'll swell.
And keep a swelling up until I bust."
Cause

No one loves a fat man,
Now why ain't I like that man?
Night and day folks always say.
You big Hippopottamus
you're in my way.
My papa and my mama,
Said triplets I should be.
But no one loves a fat man,
That's why nobody loves me.

No one loves a fat man,
Now why ain't I like that man?
Night and day folks always say.
You big Hippopottamus
you're in my way.
My papa and my mama,
Said triplets I should be.
But no one loves a fat man,
That's why nobody loves me.

Sam got a job one day you know,
As fat man in a circus show.
And he got so rich
he started living high.
He soon got sick,
From a drinking gin,
That his health gave out.
And he grew so thin,
That he lost his job,
As fat man bye and bye.
He went back home without delay,
His girl once more to win.
But soon went broke and couldn't pay,
For the gin to keep him thin.
When his wedding day,
Came around at last,
And his girl gave him one look.
She said: "Oh Sam
you've deceived your lamb.
So you can just consider yourself shook."
Oh

No one loves a fat man,
Now why ain't I like that man?
Night and day folks always say.
You big Hippopottamus
you're in my way.
My papa and my mama,
Said triplets I should be.
But no one loves a fat man,
That's why nobody loves me.

No one loves a fat man,
Now why ain't I like that man?
Night and day folks always say.
You big Hippopottamus
you're in my way.
My papa and my mama,
Said triplets I should be.
But no one loves a fat man,
That's why nobody loves me.
