Mister Five By Five Lyrics


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 sideMister Five By Five
Fifteen chins and a line of jive
He's a rockin' old cat and a real hep fat
He's Mister Five By FiveThat 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 FiveSlightly plump, on the groovy side
He's a rockin' old cat, a real hep fat
He's Mister Five By FiveHe 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 hep fat
He's Mister Five By FiveThat 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

James Andrew (Jimmy) Rushing (August 26, 1901 - June 8, 1972) was an American blues shouter from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He joined Walter Page's Blue Devils in 1927, then joined Bennie Moten's band in 1929. He stayed with the successor Count Basie band when Moten died in 1935. When the Basie band broke up in 1950 he briefly retired, then formed his own group. His build earned him a nickname and a signature song, "Mr. Five by Five" ("he's five feet tall and he's five feet wide").
