Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And I don't care what race or what color or what creed
I said all that shit don't bother me
Only one thing that you should not forget
You gotta treat your mama with respect
And I don't care what fashion the styling of your 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 your mama with respect
[Verse 3]
Treat your mama with respect
You better treat your mama with respect
Slap you upside down the head
You gonna treat your mama with respect
[Verse 4]
Treat your mama with respect
You better treat your mama with respect
Slap you upside down the head
You gonna treat your mama with respect
[Verse 5]
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
