Mother Pepper Songtext

von Desmond Dekker

Why, why, why, why Mother Pepper?
Why, why, why. Why Mother Pepper?

Haul up you mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper
Haul up you mouth and give me pass Mother Pepper

Mother Pepper
Mother Pepper

Just stand and look at your mouth, it big as the Gulf of Mexico.
And if someone say réf, see ya Jah,
Ooh, you deh right den.
Like when dem say "dire under moos-moos tail and him think of cold breeze."

Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper.

Haul up your mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper,

Mother Pepper
Mother Pepper

Gal what make you so hot
And your foot dry like de rat bat
You hot like fire NB breaking a dish
And your neck favor cutlass fish.

How could you say it's a sham, and you mouth gettin' caught in a jam,

Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper...
