Treat Yo Mama

The John Butler Trio

Don't call me a 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 mama told me too

Only one thing can remember she said

You gotta earn all of the respect



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 yo mama with respect

And I don't care what fashion, or the styling of your hair

I don't care about the car or the clothes you do wear.

One thing that you should not forget

You gotta treat yo mama with respect



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 for all this greed

You know, they know what she wants

You know they know what she needs

I got a couple of sista's in South Australia

Stopping the Uranium from coming up

Oh yeh man you know they know what she needs

They're stopping all of that government corporate greed
