Martha Say

[Verse 1]

Martha say she don't need no

Stinking man making no decisions for her

She don't need his money

She don't need him between the sheets

She ain't gonna sleep on the edge of the bed for no stinking man

And that's the way she lives 'cause I saw her last night

Pouring water on a drowning man in the moonlight

Saying

[Chorus]

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother

Hi-de-hi-de-hey now, Martha

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister

Say what, hey you, look out, Martha

[Verse 2]

Martha say she don't need no

Revolver to shoot some idiot down

She can do it with her eyes

She can do it with her smile

She can do it with a conversation just walking down the hall

Man, now ain't that the truth 'cause I saw her take a bite out of

Some macho dude laying some corn ball line on her last night

Saying

[Chorus]

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother

Hi-de-hi-de-ho now, Martha

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister

Say what, hey you, look out, Martha

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother (Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother)

Hi-de-hi-de-ho, sister (Hi-de-hi-de-hi, yeah)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-ho, yeah)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, Martha

Say what, look out, shake it up Martha

[Verse 3]

Martha say say she ain't changin'

No nothin' for nobody for no damn good reason

It's the way that she wants it, it's the way that she gets it

Well, the girl loves playing hardball

It leaves me in a no win situation

Saying

[Chorus]

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother

Hi-de-hi-de-ho now, Martha

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister

Say what, look out, Martha

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother

Hi-de-hi-de-ho now, Martha

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister

Say what, hey you, look out, Martha

[Outro]

Martha say she don't need no

Stinking man making no decisions for her
