Lyrics
Mr. Five By Five
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, twirl my turban, man alive!
Here come mr. five by five
He's one of those big fat bouncing boys
Solid avoirdupois
Mr. five by five
He's five feet tall and he's five feet wide
He don't measure no more from head to toe
Than he do from side to side
Mr. five by five
Got fifty chins and a line of jive.
He's a mellow old cat, a real hep fat
He be mr. five by five
That man can really jump it for a fat man
The only trouble is there's no way of knowin'
Whether he's comin' on or goin'
Mr. five by five
He's slightly plump on his butter side
He don't shake it no more from head to toe
Than he do from side to side
That man (my, my), can really jump it for a fat man (fat man)
Boys, the trouble is there's no way of knowin'
Ella mae:
Whether he's comin' on or goin'
Mr. five by five
He's five feet tall and he's five feet wide
He don't measure no more from head to toe
Than he do from side to side
Mr. five by five
