Louis Jordan
I Like ’Em Fat Like That
I Like'em Fat Like That (Claude de Metrius/Louis Jordan/J. Mayo Williams)
Let the cats all criticize
Joke about my baby's size;
She's reet with me
Because you see:
I like 'em fat like that

When she bounces down the street
She's a whole heap o' honey, and ain't she sweet?
Feels so fine
To know she's mine:
I like 'em fat like that

You have all those lean chicks
Tender and tall
But when it comes to mean kicks
My big fat mama is the best of all

After I'm through workin'
I reach and grab my hat
Hurry home
Don't want her to be alone:
I like 'em fat like that!
