Huggin' And A Chalkin' (feat. Paul Weston & His Orchestra) - Johnny Mercer, Paul Weston & His Orchestra

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 ain’t so grand to be a girl so big and fat

That when you go to hug me you donâ??t know where youâ??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

Iâ??ll put one cross here, and another one here

Darling

Ah, but seriously you know that Iâ??m crazy about you

And I mean all of you, every little bit

We both feel weâ??re meant for each other

Yet when we walk through the street people think

That Iâ??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
