Subject: Lyr Add: TOO FAT POLKA (MacLean, Richardson)
Geeziz......I'm a kid again this week! Let's see, first it was my old man's Ink Spots records and now as I recall he had this one done by the Andrews Sisters. Let's put this sucker to rest even though it's the wrong song............

TOO FAT POLKA (She's Too Fat For Me)
by Ross MacLean and Arthur Richardson

Here's a silly ditty, you can sing it right away
Now, here is what you say
So sing it while you may
Here's a silly jingle, you can sing it night or noon
Here's the words, that's all you need
'Cause I just sang the tune:

    Oh, I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her, you can have her,
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    She's too fat
    She's too fat for me

I get dizzy
I get numbo
When I'm dancing
With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo

    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    She's too fat
    She's too fat for me

Can she prance up a hill?
    No, no, no, no, no
Can she dance a quadrille?
    No, no, no, no, no
Does she fit in your coupe?
    By herself she's a group
Could she possibly
Sit upon your knee?
    No, no, no

    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    And she's too fat for me
    But she's just right for me
    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    Yeah, she's too fat,
    Much too fat
    But she's just right for me

She's so charming
And she's so winning
But it's alarming
When she goes in swimming

    We don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    But she's just right for me
    So I sure want her, you can't have her
    She's just right for me
    But she's too fat!
    She's not too fat!
    She's just right for me!

She's a twosome,
She's a foursome
If she'd lose some
I would like her more some

    I don't want her, you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat for me
    I don't want her you can have her
    She's too fat for me
    She's too fat
    Much too fat
    She's too fat for me
    Hey!
