Lyrics
1. I know a girl about five foot four
Weights two hundred pounds or more
She laughs so hale and hearty
She breaks up every party
The fellows love to call on her
Because she acts so gay
But when they speak of love
Her laughing drives them all away
CHORUS
She laughs at me (ha! ha! ha! ha!)
She laughs at you (ha! ha! ha! ha!)
Laughs at everyone she sees
She can’t stand a hug or squeeze
She laughs like this (ha! ha! ha! ha!)
She laughs like that (ha! ha! ha! ha!)
When she starts she never stops
She just laughs until she drops
She says, “Now don’t, (oh! go away”)
She says, “I won’t, (now don’t I say)
Oh! she never lets the fellows go too far
She laughs, ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
When they ask her for a kiss
They say, “You’re losing lots of love
By treating us like this”
She says, “Well, what I never had
I know I’ll never miss”
And each time they call
She gives them all the ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
2. She read a book about eat and grow thin
Said, “I guess that I’ll begin to live upon a diet
At least I’m goin’ to try it”
She cut out meats and other things
And lost ten pounds, but then
She laughed so much right after that
She gained it back again
