♪Fat Tax♪

Let you know well how it will be
There's fat for you, you pay for it
'Cause that's a fat tax, yeah, that's a fat tax

Should few Euro appear too small
Be thankful you don't take more fat
'Cause that's a fat tax, yeah, that's a fat tax

If you drink a shake, they'll tax its milk
If you grill a steak, they'll tax your meat
If you get too pizza, they'll tax the cheese
If you take a cake, they'll tax your fat
Fat tax!

'Cause that's a fat tax, yeah, that's a fat tax

Don't ask them how it will help you
(Ha ha, Rasmussen)
If you don't want to pay some more
(Ha ha, Ms. Schmidt)
'Cause that's a fat tax, yeah, that's a fat tax

Now my advice for those who buy
(Fat tax)
Declare the butters in your bags
(Fat tax)
'Cause that's a fat tax, yeah, that's a fat tax

And you're eating for no one but you
(Fat tax)
