This song was written about Steve Schreir (sp?), Rosh at Mosh several times; the only year I can be sure on is 1970, the first year I was there. He was a really huge guy.
By the way, the summer of 1970, we saw Danny Kaye in "Hans Christian Anderson" (including the Thumbalina) one night, and the song was introduced the next day.
To the tune of "Thumbelina"
Bumba-lina, Bumba-lina, tiny little thing
Bumba-lina dance
Bumba-lina sing
Even though you may not have the biggest heart inside
When your stomach's full of food, you're 9 feet wide!
Bumba, Bumba ugga-wugga Bumba
