John Butler - Treat Yo Mama

Lyrics

Verse 1

Don't call me hippy cause the way that I look ,

Cause 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 momma told me to.

Only one thing can remember she said,

You gotta earn all of your respect.

Verse 2

And I don't care what race or what colour or what creed

All that shit don't bother me,

Only one thing that you should not forget ,

You gotta treat you mama with little respect

And I don't care what fashion the styling of you 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 little respect

You better treat yo mama with little respect

Slap you upside down the head

You better treat yo mama with little respect

Verse 3

I got a couple of friends up in a tree in Northcliff

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 of sisters in 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!
