Sophie Tucker — Im the Last of the Red Hot Mammas

Sheiks, neckers, and jelly beans Lend me your ears So, you think you've been petted Don't be silly, forget it! Debs, flappers, and baby vamps Bore me to tears What do they know concerning love? Come to me for your burning love! 'Cause I'm the last of the red hot mamas They've all cooled down but me! Flapper vamps, say, what do they know? Come get your hot stuff from this volcano I'm an overheated, try and beat it Hotsy-totsy Hottentot Now, it may be snowing But when I get going Oh, baby, I'm hot! You can keep your collegiate charmers Their lovin' isn't worth a dime Away up in Alaska Where the natives freeze An Eskimo left my hut in his BVD's 'Cause I'm the last of the red hot mamas I'm gettin' hotter all the time! I don't wanna brag but in my hotel suite A dozen firemen were overcome by heat A Scotsman wants to marry me the dear sweet soul He thinks with me around he'll save a lot of coal I met a movie star who's famous for his cash I gave him one kiss and singed off his moustache A funny thing happened - I nearly died I sat down on an egg, I got up - the egg was fried Said, I'm the last of the red hot mamas They've all cooled down but me I don't pet and only neck 'em No sir, I'm one mama who loves to wreck 'em I can make 'em sizzle Make 'em fry and frizzle If you wanna know the truth Say, I can warm the cold ones And give the old ones Back their flaming youth Oh, I was born in the hot Bahamas Right now, I'm in lovin' prime Others pet and kiss and hug And don't know what it's all about Say, when I kiss men They feel they've had their tonsils taken out 'Cause I'm the last of the red hot mamas I'm gettin' hotter all the time!
