They Call Me Big Mama Lyrics

Well, they call me Big Mama
Cause I weigh 300 pounds
Call me Big Mama
Cause I weigh 300 pounds
I can rock and I can roll them
And I can really go to town
Satisfy you this morning if you take me home with you
Satisfy you this morning if you take me home with you
You’ll never be blue ‘cause I know
Just what to do
I can rock, baby, I can roll
I can rock and roll, baby, I can roll
I can rock and I can roll
And I can really go to town
Ah, go to town
And …daddy
Big Mama’s got to go
…for your soul
They call me Big Mama
Cause I weigh 300 pounds
I can rock and I can roll them
And I can really go to town
When you see me coming, I should…
When you see me…baby break down and cry
Cause they call me Big Mama
Weigh 300 pounds
I can rock and I can roll them

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
