John Butler Trio Treat Yo Mama Lyrics

Treat Yo Mama Lyrics

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. 



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 wit 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. 



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 of Sista's in South Australia, 

Stopping the Uranium from coming up, 

Oh yeah man you know they know what she need. 



They're stopping all of that Government Corporate Greed!
