Here comes Mister Five by Five
He's one of those big fat bouncing boys
Solid avoirdupois!

He don't measure no more from head to toe
Than he do from side to side
      
Mister Five by Five
Got fifty chins and a line of jive
He's a mellow old cat, a real hep fat
He be Mister 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' or ... or goin'

He's slightly plump on his butter side
He don't shake it no more from head to toe
