Fats Domino - The Fat Man

{The first thing I recorded, I'm gonna play right now
It was called a fat man and I recorded it in 1949}

They call, they call me the fat man
'Cause I weigh two hundred pounds
All the girls they love me
'Cause I know my way around

I was standin', I was standin' on the corner
Of Rampart and Canal
I was watchin', watchin'
Watchin' those people gather

I'm goin', I'm goin' goin' away
And I'm goin', goin' to stay
'Cause we be in this fast life
[Incomprehensible] this goin' away
