Big Butter and Egg Man

[May Alix]
I want a butter and egg man
A way out in the west
'Cause I'm getting tired of working all day
I want somebody who wants me to play
Pretty clothes have never been mine
But if my dream comes true, something's gonna change
'Cause I want a butter and egg man
Won't some big butter and egg man want me?

[Louis Armstrong]
Hear, hear!
Now, mama, I'm your big butter and egg man!
But I'm different, honey
But I'm from way down in the south
Now listen, baby
I'll buy you all the pretty things that you think you need
As long as I can keep this cornet up to my mouth
Oh I'll play you a little minor in C
And if you say it's necessary, baby, why I'll even hit High C
Oh 'cause I'm your big butter and egg man
Come here, baby, kiss me
Big butter and egg man from way down south!
