Lyrics > The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Ghetto Mom

Violence baby in the dead of night
Why can’t I sneak a little right in the head
What can I see in a grand cafe

We took a little poison ’bout an hour ago
Hands-up, who wants to feel like shit for days?
Come on!

Ghetto Mom, Ghetto Mom
Chasin’ tail with your atom bomb
Ghetto Mom, Ghetto Mom
I’m gonna sock it to you baby, get it all night long

Well, they got me lying down in the station house
Where they always tellin’ me to be free
I got no baloney and no parole
Just a lot American cheese, come on!

Ghetto Mom, Ghetto Mom
Bullet holes and atom bombs
Ghetto Mom, Ghetto Mom
I’m wanna sock it to you baby, get it all night long

Nineteen hundred and a-sixty-five, I was born and shaken alive
A red blooded female covers the crassshhh
My daddy taught me to drive
Come on!

Ghetto Mom, Ghetto Mom
What the hell with your atom bomb?
Ghetto Mom, Ghetto Mom
I said, hey, come on!

Yeah, it’s cool!
All around the world, every type a girl, yeah
Across the desert plain
You gonna know my name
Get down
You gonna know my name
All right!

Yeah, now I’m a-lookin’, I’m a-open my eyes
‘Cause we all got something to hide
The tag on the car that my daddy drive, it read “Live free or die!”

Ghetto Mom, Ghetto Mom
What the fuck, with your atom bomb?
Ghetto Mom, Ghetto Mom

I’m gonna sock it to you baby, get it all right now
I’m gonna work it on you honey, come on, get down
I got to… do it for you, get it

All night long!
All night long, yeah!
All night long, yeah!
All night long, now, baby, c’mon!
All night long, now, baby, c’mon!
All night long, now, honey
Get down, now, baby
Baby, baby, baby… c’mon!
