Someone earlier mentioned these lyrics as NOT PC. The Mile High Banjo
Society adds a verse to "transform" it to OK. Do not know if they are original
with this verse. CD Baby plays a lot of the verses but unfortunately stops
before the "She's just right for me" verse. Ginny

Written by Ross MacLean. Several years ago he was alive and well and
living in Cranbury, NJ. I met him in a restaurant. One of the
waitresses introduced me to him. He may have been the lyricist and
Arthur Richardson may have written the music, since McLean wrote the
lyrics for a song called "Rain Or Shine" and Beverly Birks wrote the
music. Here are the full lyrics of "Too Fat Polka":
