Huggin' And Chalkin'

I got a gal that's mighty sweet

With big blue eyes and tiny feet

Her name is Rosabelle Malone

And she tips the scale at twenty stone.



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 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 over the mountain

Comin' around the other way



Oh Gee, it aint so grand to be a girl so big and fat

That when you go to hug me you don't know where you're at



I have to take a piece of chalk in my hand

And hug away and chalk a mark to see where I began



Now where is that chalk? Ah, here it is

I'll put one cross here, and another one here.



Darling.



Ah, but seriously you know that I'm crazy about you,

And I mean all of you, every little bit.



We both feel we're meant for each other.



Yet when we walk through the street people think

That I'm out with my mother.



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

Comin' around the other side, It was Lou Praeger

Comin' around the other side.
