Fat Gal Lyrics



She keeps me warm in the Winter,

Chilly in the Summertime;

That's what I like about that fat gal of mine!



And when I see my landlord,

There's so much of her to hide behind;

You wouldn't pay rent if your time was spent like mine!



Now she's so sweet with the softest heart;

She's pretty soft around other parts,

And at night when I lay me down,

I don't need a piller when she's around.



Warm in the Winter,

Shady in the Summertime;

That's what I like about that fat gal of mine!



Now when she's tickled,

So much of her has the biggest time;

I tell all my jokes to that fat gal of mine.



She's never fickle;

You better put your name on the dotted line,

First time you meet with with a big fat gal like mine!



This hard-time talk don't trouble me;

I keep as happy as a honeybee;

If things get rough and times get hard,

I'll render my gal and sell the lard.



Warm in the Winter,

Shady in the Summertime;

That's what I like about that fat gal of mine!



Now she's my shelter in the time of storm;

I helter-skelter right under her arm.

She's a beauty if you look at her face,

And you shouldn't be a-lookin' any other place!



Warm in the Winter,

Shady in the Summertime;

That's what I like about that fat gal of mine!
