Troupe DiCoupe



	(Too Fat to Be a ) New York Rocker (B. Kearns/S. Kallaugher)
	I went down to CBGB’s bar I had a hot dog in my hand I walked right up to Mr. Hilly Kristal to tell him about my top pop fave rave new bop band he said Shadoobi, your music’s heavy unfortunately, so are you CHORUS You’re too fat to be a New York rocker too fat to be a New York rocker too fat to be a New York rocker too fat to be a New York rocker you ain’t never gonna play in my bar cause you’re too fat He said you want to rock out in New York town you gotta do the detached and weigh 88 pounds starve yourself silly and stay bored like Lou Reed sing for your supper but when it gets here don’t eat it stay away from Umberto’s stay away from the Hotel Pierre or you’ll be CHORUS Another Hormone hit. But it turns out that we weren’t all that fat, since Troupe DiCoupe became the first band since the Ramones to go from an audition straight to a Saturday night gig at CBGB. Or so Hilly said at the time.
