Текст песни
My granny had a saying
"Without humps,
There would be no getting over"
You pay for what you get
And hardly ever get what you paid for
Life's full of ups and downs
You got to find your own high ground
Mother Wit is your connection
Use it for your protection
Mother Wit is all you get
In your live-life
You got to dance to it
When you do it
She'll never tell you
How to live your love-life
Just a little discretion
Was her only suggestion
It's not such a mean, old world
To be happy-go-funky
Come alive and get spunky
And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy
And never buy a bridge
While you're in Brooklyn
Oh, I was raised on a farm
Way back up in the woods
Full of thirteen children, never been to school
Granny had a plan
Mother Wit, she called
"Never been to school is no reason to be a fool"
To be happy-go-funky
Come alive and get spunky
And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy
And don't buy a bridge
While you're in Brooklyn
Mother Wit is all you got
You got to trust your funk
Mother Wit is all you got
You got to trust your funk
Mother Wit is all you got
You got to trust your funk
If you can't dance through it
Don't do it
If you can dance and get through to it
Do it
When reason just don't make no sense
You got to use your funk
When "use some sense" is not enough
You got to use your funk
Though, Mother Wit is a kind of nonsense
It helps you over the hump
If you can't dance to it
Don't do it
But if you can dance and get through to it
Then, do it, dear
Can I get away?
If you can't dance to it
