Lyrics
I got a gal that's mighty sweet
With big blue eyes and tiny feet
Her name is Rosabell McGee
And she tips the scales at three naught three

Gee, but ain't it grand to have a gal so big and fat
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 ways and chalk a mark to see where you began

One day 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 'round the mountain
A-huggin' and a-chalkin' away

(Nobody ever said he's weak
His bones don't ache, his joints don't creek
But he grew absolutely limp every time he kissed his baby blimp

(Oh gee, but ain't it grand to have a gal 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 ways and chalk a mark to see where you began

One day 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
('Round the mountain a-huggin' and a-chalkin' away)
