Fat Boy/Fat/Requiem Lyrics

We went down to Leroy's double-barrel sun
Varmints always whippin' ass on Leroy
Devil-rabbit costume, gettin' on was fun
Always whinin' "Stop the war on fatboy"

[Chorus:]
Stop abusing Martians
Stop reducing calories
Clip your eggs together
Monkey one

Keep gettin' on - part of the plans that were made
We held up the donut just before the sun
We all argued who would service fat boy
Fat boy has the knowledge, knowledge overcome
Super hand of wonder it's the fat boy

[Chorus]

Fat boy claims he's triplets, I believe each one
Always, always lying, it's the fat boy
If I claim I'm triplets it's knowledge overcome
Super hand of wonder is this fat boy

[Chorus]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I believe that going to "Leroy's double-barrel sun" refers to going to a local restaurant called Leroy's Chicken Waffles and Check cashing in Chandler, AZ which is connected to the southeast side of Tempe, AZ where the pups reside. The double-barrel sun part, I believe refers to doing a double dose of "Orange Sunshine" LSD, which came in a tiny 1/8 x 1/4 inch "barrel" which resembled a tin can. This is pretty much speculation, considering about 10 minutes of research. I found that Leroy's is the only internet listed restaurant near Tempe with this name, also a Google search for double-barrel sun was auto-completed to include "shine" after sun, directing me to a message board with people talking about doing barrels of orange sunshine (and often taking double doses.) So, apparently going to eat chicken and waffles while tripping is a thing to do. Kind of explains why he saw fatboy in a devil rabbit costume to me a bit, also... Knowledge overcome seems to refer to having a belief in something that overcomes the knowledge of factual things.
