Well twirl my turban, man alive
Here comes Mister Five by Five
He's one of those big, fat, bouncin' boys
Solid avoirdupois
Mister Five by Five
He's 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
Got fifteen chins and a line of jive
He's a mellow old cat, a real hep fat
He be Mister Five by Five
That man can really jump it for a fat man
The only trouble is there's no way of knowin'
Whether he's comin' or goin'
Mister Five by Five
He's slightly plump on the solid side
He don't shake it no more from head to toe
Than he do from side to side
Mister Five, Five by Five
He's five feet tall and he's five feet wide
Slightly plump and he can jump
'Cause he's a mellow old fat and a real hep cat
Mister Five by Five
He's five feet tall and he's five feet wide
He doesn't measure no more from his head to his toe
Than he do from side to side
Mister Five by Five-feet-five
He's slightly plump on the solid side
He doesn't measure no more from head to toe
Than'll he do from side to side
Mister Five, Mister Five, Mister Five
He be just little Mister Five by Five
