Now, you heard the rest |
|
Ah, boys, I'm gonna show you the best |
|
Ma Rainey's gonna show you her black bottom |
|
Way down south in Alabamy |
|
I got a friend, they call dancin' Sammy |
|
Who's crazy about all the latest dances |
|
Black bottom stomps and the Jew baby prances |
|
The other night at a swell affair |
|
Soon as the boys found out that I was there |
|
They said, "Come on, Ma let's go to the cabaret" |
|
Where that band you ought to hear me say" |
|
I want to see that dance you call the black bottom |
|
I wanna learn that dance |
|
Don't you see the dance you call your big black bottom |
|
That'll put you in a trance |
|
All the boys in the neighborhood |
|
They say your black bottom is really good |
|
Come on and show me your black bottom |
|
I want to learn that dance |
|
I want to see the dance you call the black bottom |
|
I want to learn that dance |
|
Come on and show that dance you call your big black bottom |
|
It puts you in a trance |
|
Early last morning 'bout the break of day |
|
Grandpa told my grandma, I heard him say |
|
Get up and show your old man your black bottom |
|
I want to learn that dance |
|
Now I'm gonna show y'all my black bottom |
|
They stay to see that dance |
|
Wait until you see me do my big black bottom |
|
I'll put you in a trance |
|
Ah, do it ma, do it, honey |
|
Look it now Ma, you gettin' kinda rough here |
|
You gotta be yourself now, careful now |
|
Not too strong, not too strong, Ma |
|
I done shown y'all my black bottom |
|
You ought to learn that dance |
