She weighs in about 200
Got a smile like the pure sunshine
She got style and grace and a pretty face
And a big, big, big behind
And when she sits around the house
I mean she sits around the house
But she's my gal and she's my pal
But she's plumb wearin' me out

I said, go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more
Go to sleep, Big Bertha
Pretty please, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more

Well, she likes to love a lot
And she's got a lot to love
Why, me and Bertha, we go together
Like a hand in a pair of gloves
I was short and fat when I met her
But now I'm tall and lean
Oh, good god, stop, don't get on top
Be the last you ever see of me

I said, go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more
Go to sleep, Big Bertha
Pretty please, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more
Hold on

Ooh

Well, she weighs in about 200
Got a smile like the pure sunshine
She got style and grace and a real pretty face
And a big, big, big behind
And when she sits around the house
Whoo, she sits around the house
Aw, but she's my gal and she's my pal
But she's plumb wearing me out

I said, go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more
Go to sleep, Big Bertha
Pretty please, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more

I said, go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go, go, go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more
Go, go, go to sleep, Big Bertha
Pretty please, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, doo doo doo doo

Go, go, go, go to sleep Big Bertha
Go, go, go to sleep, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more
Go, go, go to sleep, Big Bertha
Pretty please, Big Bertha
Go to sleep, Big Bertha, I don't wanna do it no more
