Maybe we should collect all the songs about red-hot mamas and put them here.

You can hear this one at the Internet Archive:


GIVE ME A RED HOT MAMA AND AN ICE COLD BEER
As recorded by Smiley Maxedon on Columbia 21188 (1954).

Give me a red-hot mama an’ a ice-cold beer,
And I can sorta get along.
Gi’ me a long-gone baby to cuddle up near,
Then just leave me alone.
I’ll take a table in the corner, turn the lights down low,
A nickel in the jukebox, and let her go!
Oh, with a red-hot mama, an ice-cold beer,
And I can sorta get along.

Need a red-hot mama and a ice-cold beer,
And I can sorta get along.
Gi’ me a clean-cut baby without a care
And I just couldn’t go wrong.
Don’t have to work in the mornin’; I can stay out late,
So me and my baby can operate.
‘Cause there’s a red-hot mama, an ice-cold beer,
And I can sorta get along.

Gi’ me a red-hot mama, an ice-cold beer,
And I can sorta get along.
Gi’ me a loud-box cutie without a fear
That any thing can go wrong.
Don’t want no pepsi, just bring me some brew.
Maybe your daddy’s got work to do,
‘Cause a red-hot mama, an ice-cold beer,
And I can sorta get along.
