The Bigger The Figure

Keely Smith

Compositor: Alec Wilder / Marshall Barer

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

Why try to deny it?
She's just what i like
If she goes on a diet
I'll go on strike

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

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?

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

If she ever eats me out of money
And we needed the rent
Oh, that'll be a cinch
'cause when we're in a pinch
I can put her to work
Under a circus tent

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

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?

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
