Huggin' and Chalkin'
I gotta gal who's mighty sweet
With blue eyes and tiny feet
Her name is Rosabelle Magee
And she tips the scale at three o three
Oh gee, but ain't it grand to have a girl 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 way and chalk a mark to see where you began
One day, I was a huggin' and a chalkin'
And a chalkin' and a huggin' a way
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
Nobody ever said I'm weak
My bones don't ache, my joints don't creak
But I, I grow pale and I get limp
Every time I kiss my baby blimp
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 way 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 of the mountain
A 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
With blue eyes and tiny feet
Her name is Rosabelle Magee
And she tips the scale at three o three
Oh gee, but ain't it grand to have a girl 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 way and chalk a mark to see where you began
One day, I was a huggin' and a chalkin'
And a chalkin' and a huggin' a way
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
Nobody ever said I'm weak
My bones don't ache, my joints don't creak
But I, I grow pale and I get limp
Every time I kiss my baby blimp
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 way 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 of the mountain
A 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
