Back in 1947, Arthur Godfrey had a hit record called the "Too Fat Polka". It had lyrics such as, "I don't want her, you can have her, she's too fat for me...". The record had a good hand-clapping beat, and sold 3 1/2 million copies.
You didn't have to to fear government agents arresting you for a "hate" crime. Your fat friend's reaction however . . . .
I get dizzy
I get numbo
When I’m dancing
With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo
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
She’s so charming
And she’s so winning
But it’s alarming
When she goes in swimming
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!
Funny you should mention that - how about Hoagy Carmichael’s Huggin’ and Chalkin’? Great lyrics. How many freepers remember Arthur Godfrey or Hoagy Carmichael?
