CHORUS: Oh, she big fat mama, won't you stop that thing?
Skinny woman won't you do that thing?
Kind mama, won't you stop that thing?
Papa got mad because mama won't stop that thing

Now, mama killed a chicken and thought it was a duck
___ 'im on the table with his legs straight up
Here John, come with a cup and glass
Catch the liquor just to make you laugh
Papa got mad because mama won't stop that thing

CHORUS: Oh, she big fat mama, won't you stop that thing?
Skinny mama, won't you do that thing?
Kind mama, won't you stop that thing?
Papa got mad because mama won't stop that thing

Now I went upstairs to sleep a little bit
Went back to sleep a little more
The old bed fell down I had to sleep in the floor
Now Papa got mad, mama won't stop that thing

CHORUS: As after verse 1

Now stop and let me tell you what Aunt Dinah done
Old Aunt Dinah walkin' down the street
And when she walked she began to creep
A little song about beedley-bum
One could beat it, and one could sing
One to tell you, "Why don't you do that thing?"
Papa got mad because mama won't stop that thing

CHORUS: Oh, she big fat mama, won't you stop that thing?
Skinny mama, won't you do that thing?
Kind mama, won't you stop that thing?
Papa got mad because mama won't do that thing

Now a bow-legged rooster and the knock-kneed hen
They both run together but they ain't no kin
Papa got mad because mama won't stop that thing

CHORUS: as after verse 1

Now the monkey and the baboon sittin' on the fence
The monkey told the baboon, "You got no sense
Look here, fool.", he just commenced
Papa got mad because mama won't do that thing

CHORUS: Oh, she big fat mama, won't you stop that thing?
Skinny mama, won't you do that thing"
Kind mama, won't you stop that thing?
Now, papa got mad because mama won't do I mean, I mean, I mean that thing
