Tell you 'bout big mama, mama don't like it small,
She wants it elegant, she wants the money spent,
Or else she will not play at all
Mama went down to the freight yard, wearing her spaghetti bib,
She said, well, I want some more, so sonny, open that door,
And that's exactly what they did
That's because mama want cake, mama want a big slice of cake, yes, she does
Now mama is a gentle woman, but she's a holy terror in a fight,
She say, well, bring me a horse, hand me a lance,
Honey, we will do this right
Big mama had a silver dollar that she traded for a gravity knife,
She say that one never know when the goods gonna show ,
And man, I want to cut me a slice
Mama want cake, mama want a big slice of cake, yes, she does
Look out now, here's comes mama with a big shopping bag
They say the nervous ones live in the future, the sad ones live in the past,
But big mama's fine living her own sweet time cuz that's the only kind that will last
Don't you know that mama want cake, mama want a big slice of cake, yes, she does
Look out now, here come mama with a burlap sack
