YOU'RE MUCH TOO FAT (AND THAT'S THAT)
(Ben Lorre / Jeff Dane / Louis Jordan)


Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five - 1947


Why, Honey, what happened to ya. you're so huge
Why, when I left home two months ago
You were a perfect sixteen
Now you look so blimpish
Why, what you been eatin', Honey
Why, look at'cha

You're much too fat and that's that
You're much too fat and that's that
We're gonna waltz if you don't cut out 
All those chocolate malts

You're much too fat and that's that
You're much too fat and that's that
I'm gonna go where my dough don't go
Just to make you grow

You better lose it, you can't use it
All that fat you got on that frame
You better choose right or sing the blues in the night
On that blubber will rest the blame

You're much too fat and that's that
You're much too fat and that's that
You hear me say I'm on my way
'Cause you're much too fat and that's that

(Instrumental Break)

You better lose it, you can't use it
All that fat you got on that frame
You better choose right or sing the blues in the night
On that blubber will rest the blame

You're much too fat and that's that
You're much too fat and that's that
You hear me say I'm on my way
And that's your bad news day

Yes, you're much too large, you're like a barge
You ain't so great with all that freight
Oh, Honey, you're so f-a-a-t
And, baby, that's that
