The Bertha Butt Boogie
Composer(s): Jimmy Castor - Johnny Pruitt
Performer(s): The Jimmy Castor Bunch



The party was jumpin' when Bertha got off o' her stump
The whistles were blowin' and everybody did the "Bump"
But all the time Bertha had been workin' on her goodie
Now folks call it "The Bertha Butt Boogie"

When Bertha Butt did her goodie
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie"
No question

When Bertha got movin' her hips were hummin' in the wind
The ground started shakin' - no grass grew where she'd been!
The music was poppin', the crowd had formed a ring
Her sisters yelled, "Boogie, Bertha, do your thing!"

Uh, for your information, Bertha had three sisters
Betty Butt, Bella Butt and Bathsheba Butt

When Bertha Butt did her goodie
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie"
I said no question

Hey, Leroy, get away from that woman!
The boy'll never learn!
Uh-oh, here comes the Troglodyte!
Troglodyte: "Come here, sock it to me!"

Bertha stood back and yelled, "Betty, Bella, Bathsheba!"
And the Butt Sisters backed her up when she yelled, "I need ya!"
The Troglodyte, Leroy, Luther and the Butt Sisters all knew
That "The Bertha Butt Boogie" was now the thing to do

When Bertha Butt did her goodie
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie"
No question

Bertha: "I'll sock it ya, daddy!"
Troglodyte: "Me like, me like! Come here, woman, woman!"
Leroy: "Yo' mama, I'm calling you, man!"
Troglodyte: "Yeah - the Boogie!"
