Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
I got a girl, she's long and tall,
Sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
Yes she got 'em for sale.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale.
She got two for a nickel, four for a dime,
Would sell you more, but they ain't none of mine.
Hot tamales and they're red hot, yes she got 'em for sale, I mean.

That billy goat backed in a bumble bee nest,
Ever since that he can't take any rest.

You know the monkey and the baboon playing in the grass,
Monkey stuck his finger in the Good Gulf Gas.
