A thin little fellow had such a fat wife, Fat wife, fat wife, God bless her ! She looked like a drum and he looked like a fife, And it took all his money to dross her. God bless her! To dress her! God bless her '. To dress her!
To wrap up her body and warm up her toes, Fat toes, fat toes, God keep her ! For bonnets and bows and silken clothes, To eat her. and drink her, and sleep her. God keep her! To drink her ! And keep her ! And sleep her!
She grew like a target, ho grew like a sword, A sword—a sword —God spare her! Sho took all the bed and she took all the board, And it took a whole sofa to bear her. God spare her ! To bear her ! God spare her! To bear her !
She spread like a turtle; he shrank like a pike A piko—a pike—God r.tive liim ! And nobody ever beheld the like. For they had to wear glasses to shave him God save liiin.' To shave him ! God save him ! To shave him ! She fattened away till she busted one day, Exploded, blew up, God take her ! And all the people that Haw it say, Sho covered over an acre ! God take her ! An aero ! God take her ' An acre ! —Rchobolh Bum(tt>i JlomU.
