    Both written and recorded by Arthur Godfrey. What a guy! :D I remember hearing both of these songs in real life. As I recall Arthur was pretty chunky himself.

    I remember the "Too Fat Polka" but not the "Slap 'er Down Again". Neither song could be published now. The uproar would be terrible.
