Vamping Brown |
| Now Cora Lee from Tennessee |
| Had diamonds by the score |
| Big fur coat and picture hat |
| Still she’d play you for more |
| And all the boys were simply wild |
| About this vamping babe |
| Now when the other girls swarm here |
| Here’s what Cora said: |
| Girls, I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town |
| But I’m vamping just the same |
| I’m plain in my style with my big, broad smile |
| «Cheerful Memphis,» my nickname |
| I went up on the mountain, looked down in the sea |
| The fishes in the water tried to flirt with me |
| Still I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town |
| But I’m vamping just the sam |
| Lord, I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town |
| But I’m vamping just th same |
| I’m plain in my style with my big, broad smile |
| «Cheerful Memphis,» my nickname |
| My name’s Alberta, home’s in a lion’s den |
| And my favorite occupation is stealing monkey-women's men |
| Still I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town |
| But I’m vamping just the same |
| You better stop your good man from smiling in my face |
| Or you’ll wake up some morning and find me in your place |
| Still I’m a plain little brown from a one-horse town |
| But I’m vamping just the same |
