Your Feets Too Big - Fats Waller

Fats Waller plays "Your Feets Too Big," in this Soundie from the 1940s.

Lyrics:

Who's that walkin' round here, Mercy
Sounds like baby patter
Baby elephant patter; thats what I calls it

Say up in Harlem at a table for two
There were four of us
Me, your big feet and you
From your ankles up, I'd say you sure are sweet
From there down; there's just too much feet
Yes, your feets too big
Don't want ya, 'cause ya feets too big
Can't use ya, 'cause ya feets too big
I really hate ya, 'cause ya feets too big

Where did ya get 'em
Your girl, she likes you, she thinks you're nice
Got what it takes to be in paradise
She said she likes your face
She likes your rig
Man, oh, man, those things are too big
Your feets too big
Don't want cha, 'cause ya feets too big
Mad at you, 'cause your feets too big
I hate you, 'cause your feets too big

My goodness, guns, they're gunboats

Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal
To me you look just like a fossil
Got me walkin', talkin' and squawkin'
'Cause your feets too big
Yeah, come on and walk that thing
Oh, I've never heard of such walkin', mercy

Your pedal extremities really are obnoxious
One never knows, do one?

Heard this song on 'Be Kind Rewind' and fell in love with it. I wish entertainment was still like this.

My feet are indeed gigantic. No sweet lovin´for me from Fats Waller then, I guess - what a shame! My pedal extremeties are a bit obnoxious, haha.

My very first favorite song - and I was a tiny little white girl. I also started learning big words early as my Dad explained 'pedal extremities'. Thanks, Fats! Have and will always love you.

This song makes me giggle.

My mom would sing this song to me when I was a baby and she told me it always made me laugh and smile and it still does .I love this song . I listen to rock and roll and funk but this is awesome music! Thanks for posting.
