This is the instrumental version of "Fat Grrrls." I want you to karaoke your heart out! Sing it loud!
I wrote this song in about 2 days, and recorded it in a week. I woke up one night, and the lyrics and melody just came to me. I had goose bumps and butterflies. I knew this one was special. I wanted to write a song for girls to feel confident about their bodies, as well as, make a statement about seeing those varied body types in popular media. It has become my anthem, a way to make myself feel positive about my body, and I hope it does the same for everyone out there. Fat Grrrls, this is for you! Riot! Don’t Diet!
lyrics
Intro:
I wanna see
Fat grrrls! Just like me!
My double Ds
Don’t fit in your tiny Ts
I’ve got hips and I’ve got thighs
To fit in skinny jeans I’d have to die, because
Pre-Chorus 1:
I won’t unload my junk
I’ll take up space all I want
I’m just your average girl
Living in your below average world
Chorus:
I wanna see
Fat grrrls just like me
I wanna see
Fat grrrls just like me
I don’t hate other girls
Judge not the lines or the curves
We’re all sisters in the fight
Fashion is a girl’s right, because
Pre-Chorus 2:
Something’s wrong with all of you
Plus size! That’s my attitude!
I’m just your average girl
Living in your below average world
Chorus
Verse 1
Pre-Chorus 3:
I’ve got the solution!
We need a revolution!
When the mannequins start to diet
We need a fat grrrl riot!
Extended Chorus:
I wanna see
Fat grrrls on TV
I wanna see
Fat grrrls in movies
I wanna see
Fat grrrls just like me
I wanna see
Fat grrrls on magazines
I wanna see
Fat grrrls just like me
Outro:
We want variety!
Don’t tokenize or patronize me!
I am happy!
I am healthy!
So don’t you go judging me!
