Lyrics

You're the one for me, fatty
You're the one I really, really love
And I will stay
Promise you'll say
If I'm in your way

You're the one for me, fatty
You're the one I really, really love
And I will stay
Promise you'll say
If I'm ever in your way

All over Battersea
Some hope and some despair
All over Battersea
Some hope and some despair

You're the one for me, fatty
You're the one I really really love
And I will stay
Promise you'll say
If I'm in your way

You're the one for me, fatty
You're the one I really really love
And I will stay
Promise you'll say
If I'm ever in your way

All over Battersea
Some hope and some despair
All over Battersea
Some hope and some despair

You're the one for me, fatty
You're the one I really really love
And I will stay
Promise you'll say
If I'm ever in your way

You're the one for me, fatty
You're the one for me
