Jimmy Rushing - Mr. Five By Five lyrics

Well, twirl my turban, man alive! Here comes Mister Five by Five He's one of those big fat bouncing boys Solid avoirdupois! Mister 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 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' Mister Five by Five He's slightly plump on his bu*ter 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' Whether he's comin' or, or goin' Mister 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 Mister Five by Five
