Fast Movin' Mama Songtext

von Dinah Washington

If your woman wants her lovin'
Yes it's plain enough to see
But when she can't find her man
You can bet he's here with me.
'Cause I'm a fast movin' mama
Yes I'm a fast movin' mama
I'm a real speedy mama,
And I sure do get around.

Now you've all heard of Venus
The greatest you'll agree,
But all she knows of lovin'
Is what she learned from me.
Cause I'm fast movin' mama,
Yes I'm a fast movin' mama
I'm a go and get it (him?) mama
And I cover a lot of ground.

Yes when you talk of lovin'
I know all there is to know.
Just put a man in sights,
Stand back and watch ole' Dinah go
'Cause I'm a fast movin' mama
Yes I'm a fast movin' mama
I'm a snatch and grab it mama,
Known from town to town.

I'm the fastest movin' baby,
For speed I feel the bill
Why I look like jet propulsion even when I'm standin' still
'Cause I'm a fast movin'mama
Yes I'm a fast movin' mama
I'm an up and adam mama,
No one would put me down

Say when day's over,
And you cease to be,
You'll find that they call heaven
Dinah Washington D.C.

'Cause I'm a fast movin' mama
Yes I'm a fast movin' mama
I'm the fastest movin' mama
And I sure do get around.
