Lyrics
Oooh, you gonna take me home tonight
Oooh, down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls,
You make the rockin' world go round
I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad,
But I knew love before I left my nursery,
Left alone with big fat Fanny,
She was such a naughty nanny
Hey 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 seen ev'ry blue eyed floozy on the way, hey
But their beauty and their style
Wear kind of smooth after a while.
Take me to them lardy ladies every time
C'mon
Oh won't you take me home tonight
Oh down beside your red firelight,
Oh and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Hey listen here,
Now I got mortgages on homes
I got stiffness in my bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality. I tell ya
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 firelight
Oh, you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
GET ON YOUR BIKES AND RIDE
Oooh yeah oh yeah them fat bottomed girls
Fat bottomed girls
Yeah yeah yeah
All right ride 'em cowboy
Fat bottomed girls
Yes yes
