Murray, that's precisely Richard's point, and he's cringing in the song because the lady in question is in no way sylphlike! To give you the sense of it, here's a verse: Darling though you're twice my size I don't mean to patronize Honey let me lead you by the hand Find a lap or find a chair You can park it anywhere Just don't rest your cheeks against my man!

Best, Margaret
