Lyrics
Here’s a silly ditty, you can sing it right away
Now, here is what you say
So sing it while you may
Here’s a silly jingle, you can sing it night or noon
Here’s the words, that’s all you need
‘Cause I just sang the tune
Chorus
Oh! I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her
Please do that for me
She’s too fat, she’s too fat
She’s too fat for me
I get dizzy, I get numbo
When I’m dancing
With my Jum-Jum-Jumbo
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat, she’s too fat
She’s too fat for me
Trio
Can she prance up a hill?
No! No! No! No! No!
Can she dance a quadrille?
No! No! No! No! No!
Does she fit in my coupe?
By herself she’s a group
Could she possibly sit upon my knee?
No! No! No!
Chorus
Oh! I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her
Please do that for me
She’s too fat, she’s too fat
She’s too fat for me
She’s a twosome, she’s a foursome
If she’d lose some
I’d like her moresome
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat for me
I don’t want her, you can have her
She’s too fat for me
She’s too fat, she’s too fat
She’s too fat for me
