I'd Rather Have A Dumpling (country/humour)

[Donna D]

Such incredible diversity on this site! So I hope some of you will enjoy a bit of country/humour tomfoolery.     I think Dave did a great, good-natured job with this light-hearted look at the appeal of more amply endowed ladies.

I'd Rather Have a Dumpling

Intro
Hey, little dumplin'
Take a coupla steps back for me won't ya
I wanna get a good look at ya
Mmm hmmm, you're makin' a man hungry, baby

(v1)
I call myself a ladies' man
Although I have my 'druthers
'Cause there's a special kind of look
I place above all others
With their knees all round and shiny
And their luscious, liquid thighs
The fact that I like my women big
Should come as no surprise

Chorus
I like 'em roly-poly
'Cause they jiggle when they walk
They flash their dimpled fingers
And they giggle when they talk
Don't want no catwalk ladies
With their bones all pokin' through
I'd rather have a dumpling
Than a carrot in my stew

(v2)
I appreciate the female form
And all its many parts
Just like to see more of it
I'm a patron of the arts
Might not be a renaissance man
I'm not a good example
But I sure do know who Reubens was
He liked proportions ample

Chorus
I like 'em roly-poly
'Cause they jiggle when they walk
They flash their dimpled fingers
And they giggle when they talk
Don't want no catwalk ladies
With their bones all pokin' through
I'd rather have a dumpling
Than a carrot in my stew

Bridge
I prefer to have my pleasurements
In endomorphic measurements
Been that way all my life
And I hope one day I'll meet a gal
Big enough to be my wife

Chorus
I like 'em roly-poly
'Cause they jiggle when they walk
They flash their dimpled fingers
And they giggle when they talk
Don't want no catwalk ladies
With their bones all pokin' through
I'd rather have a dumpling
Than a carrot in my stew

Yeah I'd rather have a dumpling
Than a carrot in my stew
Tag
Now that's what I call livin' large, huh?

Great lyric again, Donna!

The music fits well. Nice performance. Who is that singer? I've never heard him before.

Regards,

Great stuff! haha! Love your humour Donna!!!!

[Donna D]

Thanks, guys. 

Steffen, I found Dave over at SongRamp. He has a great voice for fun stuff like this, but has also done some really nice 'serious' songs.

Ken, sometimes the devil makes me do things.
