Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said
You know she don't belong to you

She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's go the great big legs
She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's got the great big legs
She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's got the great big legs
Walking like she walkin' on soft boiled eggs

Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said
You know she don't belong to you

Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey
Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey
Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey
But boy, she sure is cosey

Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said
You know she don't belong to you

She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight
She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight
She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight
She's got just what it takes

Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her, keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her, you know what I said
You know she don't belong to you

Taj Mahal 

Keep your hands off her
mmm, Keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her
Keep your hands off her

Keep your hands off her
Now you know what I mean
you know
She don't belong to you

She's a heavy hippie mama
Got them great big legs
She's a heavy hippie mama
She got them great big legs
She's a heavy hippie mama, 
she got them great big legs 
When she walk she shake like a soft- boiled egg

Woman, woman you're so fine
Baby, and you're so round
Ooh, Baby, baby, baby, 
honey ya just knocks me out
Baby, you're so fine
And, you're so round
Baby, now you make me jump and shout

Mmm and, her cheeks are rosy
Yes, her cheeks are rosy
Yes, her cheeks are rosy
Yes, her cheeks are rosy, 
Now her cheeks are rosy, 
cheeks are rosy, 
she spend her whole day smelling the Posie

Keep your hands up off her
Keep your hands up off her
Now you hear what I say?
Keep your hands up off her
Don't cha, don't cha, don't cha 
Keep your hands up off her
Don't cha, don't cha, don't cha
Keep your hands off her, you know what I mean?
You know she don't belong to.. you, 
you
you, oh whoa...mmm, hmm
