Mister Five by Five Songtext
von Jimmy Rushing

Mister five by five
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
15 chins and a line of jive
He′s a rockin' old cat and a real hip fat
He's mister five by five


That man can really check in for the fat man
There′s no way of knowin′
Whether he's strollin′ in or goin'
Mister five by five
Slightly plump on the groovy side
He′s a rockin' old cat, and a real hip fat
He′s mister five by five

He don't measure no more from head to toe
Than he do from side to side

He's a rockin′ old cat, and he′s a real hip fat
He's mister five by five

That man can really check in for the fat man
There′s no way of knowin'
Whether he′s strollin' in or goin′

He don't rockin' no more from head to toe
Than he do from side to side
Mister five by five
