Sophie Tucker — Red-Hot Mama

I'm just girl A wonderful girl I'm the sweetest one in town You can search for miles around And not one like me can be found I've got a smile, a wonderful smile And a certain little way And every time the boys get near me They look at me and say Red Hot Mama Red Hot Mama You're the one we need Red Hot Mama Some charmer Yes Indeed! They say that I should be In the Follies Hot Tamales They say that I've got a pair of eyes Just like old Svengali's I confess That I possess The sweetest charms in town And unless I miss my guess The boys all follow me around I could make a music master drop his fiddle Make a bald headed man part his hair in the middle 'Cuz I'm a red hot mama Red hot mama But I'll have to turn my damper down (INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) 'Cuz I'm a red hot mama Red hot mama I'm the one they need Red Hot Mama Some charmer Yes indeed! There's not a model chair That I couldn't sit in, just to feed a kitten There's not a Broadway show That I wouldn't fit in Say I confess That I possess The sweetest charms in town And unless I miss my guess The boys all follow me around I could make a Texas farmer forget his hay I could make the devil throw his fork away 'Cuz I'm a red hot mama Just a red hot mama But I'll have to turn my damper down
