Well she's the queen of the red-hot mamas, the hottest thing in town 
     E 
when she shows up at a honky-tonk, she can right just leave you down 
                    A                         E  
You know she get on down, yeah on down to the ground 
          B                                                      E 
She's the cat's meow and the dog's bow-wow, the hottest thing in town 
 
 
Well a friend of a friend of a friend of mine said he knew her well 
Said she hung around heaven 'til she learned too much then she headed straight for hell 
She went straight to hell, everything for sale 
Well she walks the walk and talks the talk, the hottest thing in town 
 
 
Chorus: 
               A                                  E 
Well she's the hottest thing in town by a country mile 
                                                                 B 
Yeah she can lick her lips and roll her hips and really make you smile 
          A                             E 
She's got everybody's number, and she's making all the rounds 
        E                                    B                E 
She's a hell of a heavenly ball of fire, the hottest thing in town 
 
 
Hey well someday I'll get lucky, I'll slide into her town 
Maybe if she sees me, we'll go 'round and 'round and 'round 
We'll go 'round and 'round, Yeah we'll burn the whole town down 
We'll be a red hot thing and the latest fling, the hottest thing in town 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Yeah she's the hottest thing in town 
The hottest thing in town 
The hottest thing in town
