Huggin' and Chalkin' - Hoagy Carmichael

I gotta gal that’s mighty sweet

With blue eyes and tiny feet

Her name is Rosabelle Magee

And she tips the scale at three o three

Oh gee, but ain’t it grand to have a girl

So big and fat that when you hug her

You don’t know where you’re at

You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand

And hug a way and chalk a mark

To see where you began

One day when I was a huggin' and a chalkin'

And a chalkin' and a huggin' a way

When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand

Comin' around the other way 'round the mountain

Comin' around the other way

Nobody ever said I’m weak

My bones don’t ache and my joints creak

But I, I grow absolutely limp

Every time I kiss my baby blimp, oh

One day I had a yen for some one leaner, she was meaner than a

Mink in a pen.

So I left her now I’m happy as a fella could be

Huggin' and chalkin' in once a gain 'round my Rosie

Huggin' and chalkin' in once again

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' a round the other side of the mountain

Comin' around the other side
