I got a little mama, she ain't nothin' but skin and bones.
I got a little woman, she ain't nothin' but skin and bones.
But when I get my Big Monday, woo hoo, well, well, right to Hot Springs she goes.

Down in Hot Springs, she'll get two hot baths a day.
Down in Hot Springs, she'll get two hot baths a day.
And when she come out, hoo well, well, she won't be that same skinny way.

I say Hot Springs is the place, where all skinny people should be.
I say Hot Springs is the place, where all skinny people should go.
And when they come out, hoo, well, well, they won't be skinny no more.

Let's here it boy. [spoken words – Peetie Wheatstraw]

Now take my advice, and don't treat you woman wrong.
Now take my advice, and don't treat you woman wrong.
Because the woman that I got, woo hoo, well, well, she ain't nothin' but skin and bones.

Skin and bones, skin and bones, hear your woman sing.
Skin and bones, hear your woman sing.
Well now, you better take her to Hot Springs, woo well, well, before it is too late.
