Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got a woman as big as a house, yes, sir
She's as big as a two-family house with a porch and a fence
You won't believe what you see when you look at her
She's enormous, colossal, tremendous, gigantic, immense
[Verse 2]
Why try to deny it?
She's just what I like
If she goes on a diet
I'll go on strike
[Verse 3]
The bigger the figure the better I like her
The better I like her the better I feed her
The better I feed her the bigger the figure
The bigger the figure the more I can love
[Verse 4]
She's exactly like a watermelon
Big and round and sweet
In a party dress she may be quite a mess
But I love her a lot
So what if she's not so neat?
[Verse 5]
The bigger the figure the better I like her
The better I like her the better I feed her
The better I feed her the bigger the figure
The bigger the figure the more I can love
[Verse 6]
If she ever eats me out of money
And we need the rent
A-that'll be a cinch
'Cause when we're in a pinch
I can put her to work under a circus tent
[Verse 7]
The bigger the figure the better I like her
The better I like her the better I feed her
The better I feed her the bigger the figure
The bigger the figure the more I can love
[Verse 8]
She's exactly like a watermelon
Big and round and sweet
And in a party dress
She may be quite a mess
But I love her a lot
So what if she's not so neat?
[Verse 9]
The bigger the figure
The better I like her
The better I like her
The better I feed her
The better I feed her the bigger the figure
The bigger the figure the more I can love
[Verse 10]
The bigger the figure the better I like her
Better I like her the better I feed her
Better I feed her the bigger the figure
The bigger the figure the more I can love, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
