A Real Mother For Ya (Edited Version)

Though wine improves with age, the same is not necessarily true of songwriters. This piece of funk was produced way after Watson's sell-by date, and he probably only got away with the title because in 1977 most music pundits didn't realize that "mother" was half a word. >>

Wanna buy a new car
But the price ain't right, haha
Be a downside cheaper, yes, it would
Star riding a bike, huh, listen

They are making milk out of powder, daddy-o
Got the baby's crying, oh, baby
Rich gone up higher, yes, it is
Got the parents lying

Lord , it's a real mother for ya, yeah
Make you wanna run for cover, yes, babe
And if you look you will discover, yeah
Lord, it's a real mother for ya, yeah, ow!

Good god
Listen

Got to go to a disco
Throw your troubles away
Dance to the music, yeah
That the DJ's play, feeling alright

And then the lights come on, yeah
Like you knew they would, haha
Go home and face the music
That don't sound too good, listen

Lord , it's a real mother for ya
Make you wanna run for cover, yes, babe
And if you look you will discover, yeah
Now it's a real mother for ya, yeah, ow!

Lord , it's a real mother for ya, yeah
Make you wanna run for cover, yes, it will
And if you look you will discover, yeah
Now, it's a real mother for ya, yeah
Say it's a real mother for ya, yeah

Ow, get out of here!
Goodness
Too cold
Cold-blooded, cold-blooded, I'm telling you the truth
Let me start here this jam-session

Gimme three gallons of low lead!
You got it full, nothing else
Better stop and give me two hot dogs and a strawberry soda
(It's a real mother for ya) Yeah
Well, it's a real mother for ya, yeah
Oooh, it's a real mother for ya, yeah
Ooo hooo hooo (For ya), yeah
