"It comes out and hits you, hits you right between the eyes. It's big and fat and horrible, and it’s how I’d like to be and how if feel a lot of the time. Other times I feel completely different, but at the moment I’m feeling like one big queen. A big fat red queen, she eats people for breakfast and stomps around in platform gold sandals. I think she’s so big because she feasts on men quite a lot, and that’s a good form of protein."

Inspired by 'Attack of the 50-Foot Woman' (more info).

Hey I'm one big queen no one can stop me
Red light red green smack back and watch it
I'm your new one second to no one
No sweat I'm clean nothing can touch me

I'll tell you my name F U C K
50ft queenie force ten hurricane
Biggest woman I could have ten sons
Ten daughters ten queens
Ten foot and rising

Hey I'm the king of the world
You ought to hear my song
You come on measure me
I'm twenty inches long

Glory glory lay it all on me
50ft queenie 50 and rising
You bend over Cassanova
No sweat I'm clean
Nothing can touch me

Hey I'm the king of the world
You better to hear my song
You come on measure me
I'm twenty inches long

Hey I'm king of the world
You better to hear my song
You come on measure me
I'm thirty inches long

Hey I'm king of the world
You ought to hear my song
You come on measure me
I'm forty inches long

Hey I'm king of the world
You better hear my song
You come on measure me
I'm fifty inches long
