"Flamin' Mamie"
By Tim Trager

What a great song!  Flamin' Mamie was a big hit with the Coon-Sanders
Nighthawks!  It has outrageous lyrics:

 "She's Flamin' Mamie a sure fire vamp, the hottest baby in town.
  When it comes to lovin' she's a human oven, she really burns them down

 "Of all those damper turnin' mamas not one compares --
  She carries fire insurance on every thing she wears!"
  ...
 "She's the hottest thing since the Chicago fire" ...
 "She ate a box of matches at the age of nine" ...

... and so on.  I have this song on a Wurlitzer 125 roll.
