[begins with a pretty funky guitar riff]
|
|
Don't call me hippy cause the way that I look,
|
You know I got a recipe and you know I can cook,
|
And I come forth with only good intent,
|
You know I am Heaven-bound but I'm surely Hell-bent
|
On getting the job done like I know I should,
|
Get the job done like my mama told me to,
|
Only one thing can remember she said,
|
You gotta earn all of your respect.
|
|
And I don't care what race or what colour or what creed
|
I say all that shit don't bother me,
|
Only one thing that you should not forget,
|
You gotta treat yo mama with respect
|
|
And I don't care what fashion the styling of yo hair,
|
I don't care about the car or the clothes you do wear.
|
Only one thing that you should not forget,
|
You gotta treat yo mama with respect.
|
|
Chorus:
|
Treat yo mama with respect,
|
Ya better treat yo mama with respect,
|
Slap you upside-down yo head,
|
Ya don't treat yo mama with respect.
|
|
Treat yo mama with respect,
|
Ya better treat yo mama with respect,
|
Slap you upside-down yo head,
|
Ya don't treat yo mama...
|
|
[instrumental walkabout]
|
|
I got a couple of friends up in a tree in North-Cliff,
|
You know they're doing their part,
|
You know they're doing their bit.
|
|
Trying to save our Mother from all this greed,
|
You know they know what she wants,
|
You know they know what she needs.
|
|
I got a couple sisters South Australia,
|
Stopping the uranium from coming up,
|
Oh yeah man you know they know what she needs,
|
They're stopping all of that Government Corporate Greed!
