Chorus
[G]Beer belly blues, what col[C]or are my new sho[G]es.
C[G]ause my feet and belt buckle are things I rarely s[D]ee.
My pro[G]blem is not my glands, it comes pou[C]red from aluminum cans,
A[G]nd Papst Blue Ribbon has been awfu[D]lly good to m[G]e.
Verse 1
And ho[C]ney when you buy my shirts, make su[G]re there triple XL
F[G]our or five people I know at work have started callin' me Orsen Wel[D]ls.
I [G]got endorsment offers from Michelob, Lite, and Str[C]ohs,
And Ju[G]nior Sample's family called and their sa[D]vin' me his old clo[G]thes.
Chorus
[G]Beer belly blues, what col[C]or are my new sho[G]es.
[G]Cause' my pants and my zipper are things I rarely [D]see
My [G]mama says I'm big boned, I can't fi[C]t in her mobile home.
[G]And Old Milwaukie's been awfu[D]lly good to m[G]e.
Verse 2
Yeah I us[C]ed to be a lean 175 now I'm way ove[G]r three
It's a [G]gettin' to the point that my own wife dont wanna' slow dance with m[D]e
Cause' I[G] like to eat and watch tv, and knock out a case or[C] two
[G]Even people like Sally Struthers say tha[D]t I need to lose a [G]few.
Chorus 3
[G]Beer belly blues, are some[C]thing that I can'[G]t lose
[G]If Richard Simmons saw me he'd cry and hold my han[D]d
Yeah but I [G]couldn't touch my knees, if I was s[C]weatin' to the oldies
[G]And Old Milwaukie's been awful[D]ly good to me[G].[C]
[G]Yeah Papst Blue Ribbon has been aw[D]fully good to[G] me[C]
[G]Yeah yeast in generals' been awful[D]ly good to me[G].[C][G]
