Fat Bottom Girls
Hayseed Dixie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make the rockin' world go round
Hey I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a fat boy out of me
Hey hey!
I've been singing with my band
Across the wire across the land
I seen ev'ry blue eyed floozy on the way, hey
But their beauty and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies every time
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 and homes
I got stiffness in the 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 gone and made a big man out of me
Now get this
Are you gonna take me home tonight (please)
Oh down beside that red firelight
Are 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 cowboys
Fat bottomed girls
Yes yes
ohh gets me everytime

Heard this on the radio last night. It's uncanny how well this song works as a bluegrass number.
@raymondweaver8526
For all the jokes, the tight cords in the beginning of this song shows these guys have some talent

"You can do whatever you want with my music just don't make me boring." -Freddie Mercury. I'd think if Freddie was still with us he'd get a massive kick out of this cover.
@Whiskeybuisness
Freddie Mercury would roll over in his GRAVE......( an start pattin his foot! ) That was a Damn Fine version, if not the BEST cover of that tune Ive ever heard. I wanna see em in concert!
