lyrics
Tootie Ma was a big fine thing
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Tootie Ma was a big fine thing
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Tootie Ma says sure is fine
Ho Natay, swing that thinga
Tootie Ma says sure is fine
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Finest gal you ever saw
Done some things against the law
Took my ma, broke my pa
I'm gonna knock on her door
Swing for me on my proud day
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Swing for me on my proud day
Ho Natay, swing that thing
[Instrumental Bridge]
I'm gonna knock on her door
Swing for me on my proud day
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Swing for me on my proud day
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Tootie Ma says sure is fine
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Tootie Ma says sure is fine
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Tootie Ma can drink some wine
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Tootie Ma can drink some wine
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Tootie Ma went up the rail
Lookin' for some cat to veil
Police put her right in jail
I'm gonna get her out on bail
Swing for me on my proud day
Ho Natay, swing that thing
Swing for me on my proud day
Ho Natay, swing that thing
