There's a big dilemma

'Bout my Big Leg Emma, uh-huh, oh yeah

There's a big dilemma

'Bout my Big Leg Emma, uh-huh, oh yeah

She used to knock me out

Until her face broke out



There's a big dilemma

'Bout my Big Leg Emma, uh-huh, oh yeah

There's a big dilemma

'Bout my Big Leg Emma, uh-huh, oh yeah

She was my steady date

Until she put on weight
