LYRICS IN DESCRIPTION

I created this song with the help of Udio. This is my fourth attempt at creating a song through Udio.

I wrote 92,5% of the lyrics to this song. The rest was co-written by me with the help of AI services (not Udio though). I purposely employed a lot of rhymes and double meanings in the lyrics.

Below are the lyrics:

It’s time for me to level with you,
And give the damned old Devil his due.
He promised, and catered, to my every whim,
Long gone are the days of staying in trim.
Temptation, oh, that weighty old matter,
My sins were handed to me on a platter.

I cling to his legs, I’m under his thumb,
Down to the dregs, to him I succumb.
The curse of idle hands, that’s my story told in sum,
Putting it plainly: I’m a fat and lazy bum.

I’m not like my twin, even if we’re close kin.
Though we’re both heavyset, there’s a spring in his step,
And he’s comfortable in his skin.
A wandering monk is he, bursting with smiles and glee.
But exercise, to me, is like sunlight to a flea,
So I’ll settle for two out of three.

I cling to his legs, I’m under his thumb,
Down to the dregs, to him I succumb.
The curse of idle hands, that’s my story told in sum,
Putting it plainly: I’m a fat and lazy bum.

Like Henry the Eighth, who lost his way, 
(A king led astray)
Mounting his horse took more than a day. 
A weighty existence, a crown that's absurd, 
In the echoes of history, my story's inferred.

An awful lot to lose, not just in terms of weight,
Concerned about my ability to enter Heaven’s gate.
Gluttony and sloth rained down on my parade,
And now my moral fibre is completely frayed.

I cling to his legs.
Down to the dregs.
Completely frayed.

I cling to his legs, I’m under his thumb,
Down to the dregs, to him I succumb.
The curse of idle hands, that’s my story told in sum,
Putting it plainly: I’m a fat and lazy bum.

On and on, the Holy Scriptures harp, 
About ravenous wolves, in impeccable sheep's garb.
Thugs with two mugs, all good Christians learn to shun,
But if I had two faces, I'd never wear this one!

I'm a fat and lazy bum, and I'm under his thumb.
The curse of idle hands, that’s my story told in sum.
An awful lot to lose, not just in terms of weight,
Concerned about my ability to enter Heaven’s gate.

The Fat Monk's Twin

Hooks for heart and sole. 

I use Udio to create my own songs. Udio is capable of producing a vast array of musical styles, but I only create songs that I personally enjoy. The lyrics are either fully written by me, or co-written by me with some additional help from AI services (not Udio), after I’ve carefully defined what the song should be about, and written my own original lines for it. I strive to write as much as possible of the lyrics myself. In the description of each song you’ll find the lyrics, as well as information about whether the lyrics were fully written by me, or co-written with the help of AI.
