I gotta gal that's mighty sweet
Big blue eyes and tiny feet
Her name is Rosabelle Magee
And she tips the scales at 303
Oh gee, but ain't it grand to have a girl
So big and fat that when you 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 when 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
Comin' around the other way over the mountain
Comin' around the other way
Nobody ever said I'm weak
My bones don't ache, my joints creak
But I grow pale and I go limp
Every time I kiss my baby blimp, oh
Oh gee, but ain't it grand to have a girl
So big and fat that when you 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 heart)
(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)
Comin' around the other side
She's a mile wide
(Chalkin' a mark down in Yellowstone park)
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
A-comin' around the other side (over the mountain)
Over the great divide
