Get out the chalk

Apparently my dad sang this song to my mom's roomies while they were dating. Justin is going to be taking some notes with his ever-expanding wife. He'll be writing his notes with chalk. Has anyone else heard this song before? I almost cried from laughing so hard.

Huggin' and Chalkin'
(Clancy Hayes and Kermit Goell)


I’ve got a gal who's mighty sweet
Big blue eyes and tiny feet
Her name is Rosabelle McKee
And she tips the scales at 303.

Oh gee, but ain't it grand to have a gal
So big and fat that when you go to hug her
You don't know where you're at
You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand
And hug aways and chalk a mark to see where you began

One day I was a huggin' and chalkin'
And a huggin' and a chalkin' away
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
Comin’ around the other way
Over the mountain
Comin’ around the other way.

Nobody ever said I'm weak
My bones don't ache,
My joints don't creak
But I get weak and I go limp
Every time I see my baby blimp

Oh gee, but ain't it grand to have a gal so big and fat
That when you go to hug her
You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand
And hug a bit and chalk a mark and see where you began

One day I was a huggin' and a chalkin' and
A-beggin' her to be my bride
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
Comin’ around the other side
Over the mountain
Comin’ around the other side
She’s a mile wide
Chalkin’ up a mark down in Yellowstone Park
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
Comin’ around the other side
Over the mountain
Over the great divide!!!
