Hoy! I'm the boy Three hundred pounds of heavenly joy I'm so glad that you understand Three hundred pounds of muscle and man This is it This is it Look what you get If the men's all mad then the women's glad If the little kids' happy then the old folk's mad I'm so glad that you understand Three hundred pounds of muscle and man This is it This is it Look what you get __________ Note: Howluin' Wolf was six-foot, six inches (1 meter, 98 cm) tall and weighing close to 300 pounds (136 kg).

Say you need me, say you need me Tell me that you want my love Say you will be mine and I am yours You think that you're way above me I'm telling you that I can see All those things that you might wanna be I am yours tonight You be mine tonight
You keep telling me you're not having me I'm telling you that I can see All the things that you might wanna be Say you need me, say you need me Tell me that you want my love Say will be mine and I am yours I am yours tonight You be mine tonight
I got a big fat Mama With a big fat boy Really thinks she's something else But I love that woman Like fish loves the water And there is nobody else I'm gonna tell you woman better do as you're told If you don't, I'm gonna bringing you down I've got a big fat Mama And there's no one else around
I said say you need me Come on and say you need me I said say you need me
Say you need me Come on and say you need me I said say you need me
Built For Comfort Howlin Wolf, Willie Dixon Some folk built like this, some folk built like that But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk built like this, some folk built like that But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs But if you want me, you got to take your time Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need
But I got everything all the good girls need I, I love you baby I, I love you baby But I got everything all of the good girls need
And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed But I got everything all the good girls need

They Call Me Big Mama (Big Mama Thornton)
Shemekia Copleland, the hottest (in several senses) talent in blues, can knock the bvack bwall out of a room with her voice, looks to me to weight 225 easy, and she's a babe.
Maybe Jennifer Hudson will help people appreciare curves again.
Today, Marilyn Monroe and Bettie Page would be thought fat; my daughter, who has that kind of figure, has real body issues.
