The Fat Man (12-10-49) - Fats Domino, Domino-Bartholomew

{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

this goin' away
