I've heard this thrown around about his lyrics before. Does anyone know the origin?
Also do you agree?
I think his lyrics aren't necessarily bad they just have an extra dose of cheese

Well, that's pretty much what "schmaltzy" means. (And I realize that's not what your initial question is, just wanted to point out that it doesn't mean his lyrics are outright bad. I have no real opinion - am not familiar with enough of his work.)

And by the way, "Schmaltzy Maltby" is the sort of bad rhyme Maltby would never put in one of his lyrics.
