Dad here; Charlie has always been such a diva that anytime she hears a song she likes, she feels like she needs to re-write to be about her. She has done so many over the years that I’m thinking of compiling them all into a book; she has that many.
When she started putting on a few extra pounds a few years ago, she heard “Fat Bottom Girls” by Queen, and just had to put her spin on it. So here it is…
Hey!
I was just a skinny dog
A plastic crate was my gulag
But I knew life was beyond my Cell Block C, huh
Now I’ve got a big black fanny
My transformation was uncanny
Big bad daddy, you made royalty out of me
Hey hey!
C’mon!
Oh, we gona hit the road tonight
Oh, following that round headlight
Oh, gonna let my tongue hang out
Fat bottomed dog,
I make the spinning wheels go ’round
Now I go riding across the land
Even where my breed is banned
I cruise every blacktop byway on the way, hey
Those that deride that I may ride
Can kiss me on my big backside
I may stop sometime, today is not that day
C’mon!
Oh, we can hit the road tonight
Oh, following that round headlight
Oh, gonna let my tongue hang out
Fat bottomed dog,
I make the spinning wheels go ’round!
Happy Charlie Bravo Day!
