Don't Talk That Way

Oh, see, I been a-talking like the boys on the street.
Been a-talking that way to everyone I meet.
When I come a-home, Momma look at me and say.
"Babe, you know better than to talk that way."

But I keep on speaking like the gangstery men.
I saw a pretty little girl, you know what I did then.
While I was flirting, she look at me and say.
"Babe, you know better than to talk that way."

So I look at her and say "Don't talk that way."
Yay!

She's a foxy little girl in every single way.
Even when she says "Don't talk that way."

When I was bowling, I slipped and fell.
The girl in the next lane did as well.
Though she started swearing, I felt okay.
I look at her and say "Don't talk that way."

Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
Don't talk that way.
Don't talk that way.
Don't talk that way.
Don't talk that way.

I have a brother and his name is Dave.
He likes to play games and he tries to save.
Doesn't always work, he starts cursing away.
At the dumb little machine that messed his play.

You know me with what I like to say.
I look at him and said "Don't talk that way."

Yay!

Yeah, there's cool little gadgets coming out these days.
But why play with them when you can talk this way?

Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!
Don't talk that way.
Don't talk that way.
Don't talk that way.
Don't talk that way.

Don't even ask me what 'that way' is. I don't know now, I didn't know then.
