LUCKY MILLINDER's 1941 recording:

I want a big fat mama (Yes, yes)
I want a big fat mama (Yes, yes)
I want a big fat mama (Yes indeed)
I want a big fat mama (That's all I need)
I want a big fat mama to tell my troubles to

(I want a big fat mama) Gotta be big and round
(I want a big fat mama) Who can really go to town
(I want a big fat mama) Fine butter ball 
(I want a big fat mama) A gang o' mama to hold
I want a big fat mama who knows just what to do

Cool in the Summer, warm in the Fall
Hot in the Winter and that ain't all
In the Spring she's fine, just fine as wine
She's a four season mama and she's mine, all mine 
A big fat mama who'll set my soul on fire

(Instrumental Break)

I want a big fat mama
I want a big fat mama
I want a big fat mama
A big fat mama with the meat shaking on her bones

LUCKY MILLINDER's 1960 recording:


I want a big fat mama with meat shaking on her bones
I want a big fat mama with meat shaking on her bones
A big fat mama, the one that I can call my own

Cool in the Summer, warm in the Fall
Hot in the Winter and that ain't all
In the Spring she's fine, fine as wine
She's a four season mama and she's mine, all mine 
A big fat mama who'll love me all the time

(He wants a big fat mama) Big and round
(He wants a big fat mama) Who can really go to town
(He wants a big fat mama) Fine butter ball
(He wants a big fat mama) A lotta mama to hold
A big fat mama to satisfy my soul

(Instrumental Break)

I want a big fat mama with pounds rolling round and round
I want a big fat mama with pounds rolling round and round
A big fat mama so I can settle down

Cool in the Summer, warm in the Fall
Hot in the Winter and that ain't all
In the Spring she's fine, fine as wine
She's a four season mama and she's mine, all mine 
A big fat mama who'll love me all the time

(He wants a big fat mama) Big and round
(He wants a big fat mama) Who can really go to town
(He wants a big fat mama) Yes indeed
(He wants a big fat mama ........ FADE)
