Fat na kare
GO!GO!7188 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
オーガニックが過ぎるのも
体に毒だと思うんです
避けては通れない化学調味料の誘惑
わかっているけどやめられない
Fatな彼はジャンクフードがあればいい
チーズ料理は外せない
納豆キムチは食べられない
血がサラサラにはなるけれど
避けては通れないコレステロールの数値
ドロドロですき間通らない
Fatな彼はジャンクフードがあればいい
Fatな彼はジャンクフードがあればいい
あー右手にはハンバーガー 左手にもハンバーガー
避けては通れない体脂肪率の実態
計ったならまた増えていた
Fatな彼はジャンクフードがあればいい
Fatな彼はジャンクフードがあればいい
