Never Buy Texas from a Cowboy The Brides of Funkenstein (Ft. Bernie Worrell, Bruce Nazarian, Jerry Jones & Michael Hampton)

My granny had a saying:
"Without humps, there would be no getting over."
You pay for what you get, (Oooh)
And hardly ever get what you pay for. (Never been to school)
Life's full of ups and downs
You got to find your own high ground
Mother Wit is your connection. (Oh)
Use it for your protection. (Oh oh. Oh!)

(Mother Wit is all you get in your live life)
You got to dance to it when you do it
(She never tell you how to live your love life)
Just a little discretion was her only suggestion
(Da-da da da, ba-da-da da da da da)
It's not such a mean old world
(Da-da da da, ba-da-da da da da da)

[Chorus]
To be happy but funky, (happy but funky)
Come alive and get spunky, (Come alive and get spunky)
Da da da da da da da, (Ha da da da da da da)
And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy
And never buy
A bridge (And never buy a bridge)
While you're in Brooklyn. (While you're in Brooklyn)
