Il testo della Hail to thee fat person

+hail to thee, fat person
I would like to explain how it came to pass that i got fat.
Ladies and gentlemen, i got fat as a public service.
When i was a child, my mother said to me,
"clean the plate, because children are starving in europe."
And i might point out that that was years before the marshall plan
Was ever heard of.
So i would clean the plate, four, five, six times a day.
Because somehow i felt that that would keep the children from starving
In europe.
But i was wrong. they kept starving. and i got fat.
So i would like to say to every one of you who is either skinny
Or in some other way normal--
When you walk out on the street, and you see a fat person,
Do not scoff at that fat person. oh no!
Take off your hat. hold it over your heart.
Lift your chin up high. and in a proud, happy voice say to him,
"hail to thee, fat person!
You kept us out of war!"
