I got a big fat Mama with a big fat boy
D A
Really thinks she's something else
A
But I love that woman like fish loves the water
B E
And there is nobody else
A
I'm gonna tell you woman better do as you're told
D Db C B
If you don't, I'm gonna bringing you down
A
I've got a big fat Mama
C D A
And there's no one else around
A
I said say you need me
C
Come on and say you need me
D A
I said say you need me
