"Too Fat Polka" by Ross MacLean / Arthur Richardson is the exact  
title, recorded by many. http://www.electrasoft.com/music/polkahum/ 
tfpjon.htm

However, the P.C. version works better in the SF Bay Area: "Too Smart  
Polka" (I don't want her, you can have her, she's too smart for me...)

But then there is Hoagy Carmichael's "Huggin' and Chalkin" ;-)
