The recording at The Record Lady's All-Time Country Favorites (Real Country Page 24) is somewhat different from what Gern quoted above, and it has an extra verse. There is nothing about "Fascination" in this recording.

LET ME GO, BLUBBER
(as sung by Homer & Jethro)

Let me go. Let me go. Let me go, Blubber.
Let me scat like a cat 'way from you.
You're too fat in the first place. You know it's true.
You're too fat in the second place, too.

When I said that your bustle was as cute as could be,
You said, "Darling, that's no bustle. That's me."
Oh, turn me loose. Please reduce your caboose, Blubber.
Pound for pound, you're just too round for me.

When you had your appendix removed at last,
They didn't know whether to operate or blast.
Let me go. Let me go. Let me go, Blubber.
Set me free. You're just too much for me.
