Alive and Well

This life we live can be

Kinda crazy to me

'Unno (Dunno) what be goin' on

'Cuz so much is goin' on

Maybe it's the TV

Everything that I see

'Cuz some things are make believe

But some things make you believe

That if you get on the other side of the fence

That your life will be much better than it is

But if you're a fat man

Be a happy fat man

And if you're a party man

Then be a happy party man

I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself

But if you're alive and well

Just be alive and well

This high society

Has got me wanting to be

Something that I am not

Want everything that I ain't got

Sometimes I wish that I could be

Someone other than me

But the fact stil remains

Who I am will never change

Maybe it's the TV

Everything that I see

'Cuz some things are make believe

But some things make you believe

That if you get on the other side of the fence

That your life will be much better than it is

But if you're a fat man

Be a happy fat man

And if you're a party man

Then be a happy party man

I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself

But if you're alive and well

Just be alive and well

You are an original

Ain't no others like you

So beautiful, special, wonderful too

And I know you wanna

Find a way to put a little extra on it

Ain't nothing wrong with trying to be more than

Who and what you are

But if you're a fat man

Be a happy fat man

And if you're a party man

Then be a happy party man

I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself

But if you're alive and well

Just be alive and well

If you're a fat man

Be a happy fat man

And if you're a party man

Then be a happy party man

I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself

But if you're alive and well

Just be alive and well
