You better love your mother

She's the only one you've got

Yes you better love your mother

It's now or not



You better cup your hands with gratitude

'Cause your harmony is out of tune

You better cup your hands with gratitude

You better shake that funky attitude



You better love your mother

'Cause you know she's got the blues

Yes you better love your mother

'Cause she's warming up to you



You better cup your hands with gratitude

'Cause your harmony is out of tune

You better cup your hands with gratitude



You better shake that funky attitude (2x)

Just shake that funky attitude

C'mon and shake that funky attitude

You better shake that funky attitude

C'mon and shake that funky attitude
