"Fat Bottomed Girls" lyrics

Ah you gonna take me home tonight

Ah down beside that red fire light

Ah you gonna let it all hang out

Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round



Hey I was just a skinny lad

Never knew no good from bad

But I knew life before I left my nursery (huh)

Left alone with big fat Fanny

She was such a naughty nanny

Heap big woman, you made a bad boy out of me



Hey hey!



I've been singing with my band

Across the water, across the land

I've seen every blue eyed floozy on the way (hey)

But their beauty and their style

Went kind of smooth after a while

Take me to them dirty ladies every time



C'mon!



Ah, won't you take me home tonight?

Ah, down beside your red fire light

Ah, and you give it all you got

Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round

Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round



Hey, listen here

Now I got mortgages and homes

I got stiffness in the bones

Ain't no beauty queens in this locality (I tell you)

Oh, but I still get my pleasure

Still got my greatest treasure

Heap big woman you done made a big man of me (now get this)



Oh (I know), you gonna take me home tonight (please)

Oh, down beside that red fire light

Oh, you gonna let it all hang out

Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round (yeah)

Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round



Get on your bikes and ride



Ooh, yeah, oh, yeah, them fat bottomed girls

Fat bottomed girls, yeah, yeah, yeah

Allright

Ride 'em come on

Fat bottomed girls

Yeah, yeah, right
