about

Words and Music by Gilbert Wells, Bud Cooper and Fred Rose.

First recorded by Sophie Tucker with Ted Shapiro in February 1924.

lyrics

I’ve got a girl, a wonderful girl,
She’s the sweetest one in town.
You can search for miles around,
But no one can be found like this one.

She has a smile that will open your eyes
With a certain little way.
And every time that I get near her,
I look at her and say:

Red hot mamma, red hot mamma,
You’re the one I need.
Red hot mamma, you’re some charmer,
Yes, indeed.

I claim that you could be in the Follies.
Hot tamale!
You have a pair of eyes
Just like old Svengali’s.

I confess that you possess
The sweetest charms in town.
And, unless I miss my guess,
The boys all follow you around.

You make Joe Venuti toss way his fiddle.
You make a bald-headed man part his hair in the middle.
Red hot mamma, red hot mamma,
Hottest gal in town.
