about

This song was written on a cold, northeastern February day. Nuff said.

lyrics

Now I gotta tell ya, life just isn’t fair
My clothes don’t fit, my seams are split, and I’m sunk down in despair
Well I been doing some thinkin', I think I got more than my share
And why I gotta be a big bottom gal (big bottom gal)

Now sister is so slender, she's tall and she is chic
Now when her eyes fall on my thighs I turn the other cheek
And mother has a derriere, looks just like the one on me
So why I gotta be da big bottom gal (big bottom gal)
           
Well it follows me all over town, standin’ up or sittin’ down
Fillin’ out my old blue jeans and makin’ it’s presence known                      
Now what is so wrong with some junk in the trunk, it enhances my stride with a little more spunk
And I know all the guys like it plumper and round, so why is it always just bringin’ me down
And why I gotta be a big bottom gal (big bottom gal)

Well I run, I ride the bicycle, I paddle and I row
And I’m always watchin’ what I eat, and hopin’ it doesn’t show
It seems no matter what I do, there’s one place it all goes
And why I gotta be a big bottom gal (big bottom gal)

Well, hips like a boys are the latest great thing and I think that’s been true now since 1916               
Well I never no never did fit in the mold and this flaunting of fashion is getting so old
Never did want to be counter culture but I never could squeeze into fashion couture
And why I gotta be a big bottom gal  (big bottom gal)

Big bottom gal, why I gotta be a big... bottom… gal
Mmhmmmmmmm...
