I remember seeing them in a short subject, probably from the 1940's.
The lyricist was rather tall, quite portly and inclined to make fun of his girth. He was seen laying across the piano as the partner played. He was actually quite the cut-up.

(Crisswell predicts that Ray Faiola will know right off the top of his noggin....)

Dubin and Warren?
I'm glad you asked this Onya, because it made me think of studios.
I don't think it was a WB short; I think it was a Paramount one.
So, I don't think it was Warren & Dubin. It was one of the lesser-known pairs, I think.

And Al Dubin was definitely robust!
Well, maybe Onya was right.
I recall the lyricist in various poses in a montage (in the short), mostly all making fun of how big he was, as he sang some of their songs.
He posed around a piano just like a chanteuse would, even laying down sideways on the piano, his head propped up on his hand.

It was Mack Gordon and Harry Revell, promoting HOLLYWOOD RHYTHM.
See Gordon camp it up at this point in the short: https://youtu.be/9DQf6mCWw0U?t=249
Correction: It was COLLEGE RHYTHM (1934).

It surprises me that Ray Faiola didn't bounce in here, at some point, with the answer.
He knows all, when it comes to shorts.
