Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Released as a b-side in 1992
Fat boys cry when ugly girls sing About the way the world would be if they were thin And ugly girls turn their heads when fat boys laugh About the handsome kid next door who broke their heart Who broke their heart Broke their heart
And fat boys lie when ugly girls ask About the size an apple pie looks through a magnifying glass And ugly girls dream at night when fat boys sleep About the way the mirrors lie when beauty's only skin deep Beauty's only skin deep Skin deep
But it's the fat boy's world for an ugly girl And ugly girls love that fat boy joy Who needs the worries of a perfect world Hear the early birds make that spring time come When a fat boy falls in love with an ugly girl When a fat boy falls in love with an ugly girl
Fat boys dance when ugly girls shout That a waltz is not the dance for the boy who's stout And ugly girls dream at night when fat boys sleep About the way the mirrors lie when beauty's only skin deep Beauty's only skin deep Skin deep
