All Around Mama Lyrics

All Around Mama lyrics

Woom dum dum... (a bad attempt at transcribing scat singing...)



I've had men, all the sizes

Had 'em tall and lean

Had 'em short,
had 'em flabby

Had 'em in between



I'm an all round mama

I'm an all round mama

I'm an all round mama, with an all round mind



Once I had a big fat man

Big as he could be

But I left my
big fat man

He slept too close to me



I met a man, he was a
jockey

Did the things he should

Always ready, that's the reason

He could ride so good



I'm an all round mama

I'm an all
round mama

I'm an all round mama, with an all round mind



Had
a boy, young and tender

Treated me so fine

Never had nothing else
but

That thing on my mind



I met a man, in the gin mill

We drank gin so fast

Took me home, I remember

I said "oh my
yas"



Woom dum... (scat chorus)



I met a man, was a
butler

When he spoke I ran

Was too mannish for a woman

Too
girlish for a man



Saw a man, good old sweetbag,

Said that I
should know

He didn't do any lovin'

'Less he get some dough



All round mama

I'm an all round mama

I'm an all round
mama, with an all round mind



Met a man, down in Georgia

Brought his meals to bed

Liked my feet, and my cabbage

Wild
about my bread



Had a man, gave my money

Left him way last
Fall

When he said: can I get it

I said: Baby take it all



I'm an all round mama

I'm an all round mama

I'm an all round
mama, with an all round mind
