I got a gal who's mighty sweet Big blue eyes and tiny feet Her name is Rosabelle Magee And she tips the scales at three-oh-three 
Oh, gee, but ain't it grand to have a gal so big and fat That when you go to hug her, you don't know where you're at You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand And hug a ways and chalk a mark to see where you began 
One day I was a-huggin' and a-chalkin' and a-chalkin' and a-huggin' away When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand A-comin' around the other way over the mountain A-comin' around the other way 
(instrumental interlude) 
Nobody ever said I'm weak My bones don't ache, my joints don't creak But I grow pale and I get limp Every time I see my baby blimp 
Oh, gee, but ain't it grand to have a gal so big and fat That when you go to hug her (You don't know where you're at) (You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand) (And hug a bit and chalk a mark to see where you began) 
One day I was a-huggin' and a-chalkin' and a-beggin' her to be my bride When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand A-comin' around the other side (over the mountain) A-comin' around the other side 
She's a mile wide! (Chalkin' up a markdown and yellin' "No More!") When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand A-comin' around the other side (over the mountain) Over the Great Divide!!
