Short Bald and Fat

Posted on January 9, 2023January 31, 2023
Short, bald, and fat

Short, bald, and fat

How the hell did I get like that?

I was once a “strapping young lad”

Now a third of the energy 

I once had

Yes, I played the game. 

People used to know my name 

But time keeps marching on 

Those moments of glory

Have come and gone

Short, bald, and fat

How the hell did I get like that?

I was once a “strapping young lad”

Now a third of the energy 

I once had

I’m sure we can all agree

No matter how I beg or plea

History won’t remember me

I guess that’s how it’s meant to be

Short, bald, and fat

(Solo)

Now I’m 

Short, bald, and fat

(Solo)

Short, bald, and fat

(Solo)

Short, bald, and fat

Short, bald, and fat

How the hell did I get like that?

I was once a “strapping young lad”

Now a third of the energy 

I once had

Relevant no more

Pushed right on out the door 

I suppose I’ll soon be gone

Another vague marker 

on eternity’s lawn

Short, bald, and fat

Now I’m 

Short, bald, and fat

Weight a Minute

I gained some weight. Not as much as I once weighed but nonetheless, it got me thinking about people I had known who were once handsome and in great physical condition. Perhaps they were the high school football star but were now bald and fat. I channeled how I felt these one-time local high school heroes must feel and wrote this song. I guess it’s all part of getting old, which is what the album is about. Different perspectives on aging.
