SINGER: Hoagy Carmichael

SONG:Huggin And Chalkin

I got a gal who's mighty sweet
big blue eyes and tiny feet
her name is rosabelle magee
and she tips the scales at three-oh-three
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
a-comin' around the other way over the mountain
a-comin' around the other way
<instrumental interlude>
Nobody ever said i'm weak
my bones don't ache, my joints don't creak
but i grow pale and i get limp
every time i see my 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 bit 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 (over the mountain)
a-comin' around the other side

she's a mile wide!
(chalkin' up a markdown and yellin' "no more!")
when i met another fella with some chalk in his hand
a-comin' around the other side (over the mountain)
over the great divide!!
