About

Some claim that this song is, lyrically and musically, a sequel to “Hit It and Quit It”.

This is a very class-conscious song, with the singer, Billy “Bass” Nelson, pleading for unity among the poor because without doing so, equality could not be achieved.

You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks Lyrics

[Intro: Billy Bass Nelson]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
If you and your folks love me and my folks
Like me and my folks love you and your folks
If there ever was folks
That ever ever was poor, yeah
If you and your thing dig me and my thing
Like me and my thing dig you and your thing
Then we all got a thing
Yeah, and it's a very good thing

[Verse 1]
Ha, but if in our fears, we don't learn to trust each other
And if in our tears, we don't learn to share with your brother
You know that hate is gonna keep on multiplying
And you know that man is gonna keep right on dying
Yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
The rich got a big piece of this and that (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The poor got a big piece of roaches and rats (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can you get to that? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Tell me where it's at (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Hey)

[Verse 3]
You want peace (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want peace
They want peace (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And the kids need peace
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There won't be no peace (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The rich got a big piece of this and that (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
The poor got a big piece of roaches and rats (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can you get to that? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Tell me where it's at (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

[Chorus]
If you and your folks love me and my folks (My folks)
Like me and my folks love you and your folks (Everybody's folks)
If there ever was folks (Ever was folks, folks)
Ever ever was folks (Ever was folks)
If you and your thing dig me and my thing
Like me and my thing dig you and your thing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Then we all got a thing (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And it's a very good thing (Yeah)

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
