Squeeze – Frank lyrics

E.T. Thorngren (producer): Here we go! Who counts? (or "roll counts" - uncertain since it doesn't sound like it's being posed as a question, but the next line doesn't make sense if it's not)
Jools: Fatty. (a reference to Gilson, who had recently lost much weight)
(someone sniggers. Glenn?)
E.T.: Somebody count!
Gil: I'm not fat.
Jools: I take it back, I take it back. Alright?

* Michelle Jacksier offers this transcription of a radio interview in which Glenn talks about the track.

This interview took place on WLUP radio in Chicago with Danny Bonaduce, Glenn and Chris in November 1994 when they were in Chicago, and just wonderful I might add.

Caller: At the beginning of Frank,
GT: Yeah
Caller: where you guys, ok I can recite the whole thing, where its like ok, who counts, and you say "fatty"
GT: Actually, it's Jools who says "fatty" It was the first day of recording and.. well Gilson was having a a bit of a thing with is weight at the time, and Jools laughingly referred to him as fatty and Gilson our drummer at the time got a bit upset.
caller: oh ok
GT: so there was a 10 second period of silence followed by "I'm not fat" (laughter)
