[Chorus]
GBeer belly blues, what colCor are my new shoGes.
CGause my feet and belt buckle are things I rarely sDee.
My proGblem is not my glands, it comes pouCred from aluminum cans,
AGnd Papst Blue Ribbon has been awfuDlly good to mGe.
[Verse 1]
And hoCney when you buy my shirts, make suGre there triple XL
FGour or five people I know at work have started callin' me Orsen WelDls.
I Ggot endorsment offers from Michelob, Lite, and StrCohs,
And JuGnior Sample's family called and their saDvin' me his old cloGthes.
[Chorus]
GBeer belly blues, what colCor are my new shoGes.
GCause' my pants and my zipper are things I rarely Dsee
My Gmama says I'm big boned, I can't fiCt in her mobile home.
GAnd Old Milwaukie's been awfuDlly good to mGe.
[Verse 2]
Yeah I usCed to be a lean 175 now I'm way oveGr three
It's a Ggettin' to the point that my own wife dont wanna' slow dance with mDe
Cause' I Glike to eat and watch tv, and knock out a case or Ctwo
GEven people like Sally Struthers say thaDt I need to lose a Gfew.
[Chorus 3]
GBeer belly blues, are someCthing that I can'Gt lose 
GIf Richard Simmons saw me he'd cry and hold my hanDd
Yeah but I Gcouldn't touch my knees, if I was sCweatin' to the oldies

GYeah Papst Blue Ribbon has been awDfully good to GmeC
