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 some one say red, see ya Jah
Ooh, you deh right den
Like when dem say "fire under moos-moos tail
And him think of cold breeze."
Mother Pepper
Mother Pepper
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
Gal what make you so hot
And your foot dry like fe rat bat
You hot like fire 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
Mother Pepper
Mother Pepper
