Fat Flabby Annie was incredibly big
                               D
She weighed just about sixteen stone
           G              C        C#           D
And then a fake dietician went and put her on a diet
                            G   D
Now she looks like skin and bone.
G
Do the meditation and yoga
                                    D
And she's thrown away the good food guide
          G            C           C#
And she's given up the alcohol and pizzas
        D
And the pies and now she looks as if she's ready to die,
                       G
You can't see her walk by.

G
Don't eat no mashed potatoes,
G                     (D)
Don't eat no buttered scones
G
Stay away from carbohydrates
G            D                  G   D
You're gonna look like skin and bone.

G
Living on the edge of starvation
                          D
And she says she's got no appetite
        G              C
And her father and her mother
        C#              D
And her sisters and her brothers
                                                     
Couldn't see her when she walked by
                         G
She looked like skin and bone.

G
Don't eat no mashed potatoes,
G                     (D)
Don't eat no buttered scones
G
Stay away from carbohydrates
G            D                  G
You're gonna look like skin and bone.

C        C#       D
She used to be so cuddly,
C        C#       D
She used to be so fat,
C                 C#              D
But oh what a sin cos she's oh so thin

That she lost all the friends that she had,
                        G
She looks like skin and bone

C      C#         D
If you look flabby
C       C#        D
And you feel overweight,
C             C#               D
And you wanna lose a couple of stone,

Take a crash course diet do your daily exercises
                              G
And you'll look like skin and bone.

G
Come on rattle them bones,
G                        (D)
Put your hands up to the ceiling,
G
Bend your hips and touch your toes,
G

             D                  G
You're gonna look like skin and bone,
G
Don't eat no mashed potatoes, etc.

On the second part of the verses it goes G B7 C C# D.
It's a very cool little walk up.
