Lyrics
Verse 1
I’ve been counting every calorie, and runnin' every mile,
While my buddy's on the couch, watchin' TV with a smile.
I've lost a dozen pounds or so, my jeans are fitting right,
But every time I lose a pound, he gains it overnight.
Chorus
Well, I’m slimmin’ down, and he’s plumpin’ up,
I’m drinkin’ water, he's refillin’ his cup.
It’s like a magic trick, can’t you see?
Everything I lose, he finds for free.
Verse 2
I’m eating all my veggies, and I’m staying off the sweets,
He’s devouring double burgers, and piles of tasty treats.
I’m jogging in the morning, while he’s snoring in his bed,
And every pound I’m shedding, he’s just packing on instead.
Chorus
Well, I’m slimmin’ down, and he’s plumpin’ up,
I’m drinkin’ water, he's refillin’ his cup.
It’s like a magic trick, can’t you see?
Everything I lose, he finds for free.
Bridge
I told him ‘bout my theory, he laughed until he cried,
Said, "If that’s true, buddy, then I’m in for a ride!"
We made a deal to switch it up, but it’s harder than it seems,
'Cause I keep on losing, while he’s livin’ out my dreams.
Verse 3
Now I’m feeling lighter, and he’s feeling kinda round,
I swear I saw him rollin’ as he waddled into town.
I guess I’ll keep on dietin’, and he’ll keep snackin’ away,
'Cause every pound I lose, he’ll find again someday.
Chorus
Well, I’m slimmin’ down, and he’s plumpin’ up,
I’m drinkin’ water, he's refillin’ his cup.
It’s like a magic trick, can’t you see?
Everything I lose, he finds for free.
Outro
So here’s to my ol’ buddy, who’s gaining all my weight,
Thanks for takin’ every pound I drop, you’re really feelin' great.
We’ll laugh about this journey, with a burger in his hand,
The Great Weight Swap, it’s a diet plan so grand!
