The party was jumpin' when Bertha got off o' her stump,
The whistles were blowin' and everybody did the "Bump".
But all the time Bertha had been workin' on her goodie,
Now folks call it "The Bertha Butt Boogie".

When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
No question.

When Bertha got movin' her hips were hummin' in the wind,
The ground started shakin' - no grass grew where she'd been!
The music was poppin', the crowd had formed a ring,
Her sisters yelled, "Boogie, Bertha, do your thing!".

Uh, for your information, Bertha had three sisters,
Betty Butt, Bella Butt and Bathsheba Butt.

When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
I said no question.

Hey, Leroy, get away from that woman!
The boy'll never learn!
Uh-oh, here comes the Troglodyte!
Troglodyte: "Come here, sock it to me!"

Bertha stood back and yelled, "Betty, Bella, Bathsheba!"
And the Butt Sisters backed her up when she yelled, "I need ya!".
The Troglodyte, Leroy, Luther and the Butt Sisters all knew
That "The Bertha Butt Boogie" was now the thing to do.

When Bertha Butt did her goodie,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
No question.

Bertha: "I'll sock it ya, daddy!"
Troglodyte: "Me like, me like! Come here, woman, woman!"
Leroy: "Yo' mama, I'm calling you, man!"
Troglodyte: "Yeah - the Boogie!"

I've heard of this song but I've never actually heard it.....I don't think.

boy do i remember this

My mother used to talk about this song but she used to say "Bertha Butt, one of the Butt Sisters" was one of the lyrics. I told her about this song and she said, "I don't think that's it"...what?

It's a crazy song,but alot of fun

I like several other songs by Jimmy Castor Bunch:

"It's Just Begun" (1972)
"Potential" (1975)

I got their Greatest Hits CD.

Of all people who have never heard "Bertha Butt Boogie," you would have been the LAST person on my list.

My father has this on vinyl. My favorite was "Potential".

I remember. I was a little fart. Was one of my uncle favorite jams.
He taught me all i know there is to know about funk.
