(Intro – spoken over a tight funk groove) Boy… y’all better settle down in this house. Daddy’s ‘bout to lay it down… (Verse 1) Been hearin’ that noise all through the night Y’all runnin’ wild, actin’ outta sight Jumpin’ on the couch, talkin’ back too loud Actin’ like I ain’t the man of this house I done told y’all once, I done told y’all twice Keep it up and somebody gon’ pay the price Of gettin’ these hands upside that hard head And puttin’ y’all little butts straight to bed (Chorus) Shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Shut up!) Shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Don’t test me, children) I said shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Yeah!) Keep actin’ up and I’m gon’ do it again (Verse 2) Ain’t no need for all that fuss and fight Y’all know better, now do what I like Toys all over, rooms lookin’ a mess Talkin’ slick like you forgot who the best My patience runnin’ thinner than a dime One more word and it’s whoopin’ time I don’t play, I don’t pretend This funk gon’ put that nonsense to an end (Chorus) Shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Shut up!) Shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Don’t test me, children) I said shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Yeah!) Keep actin’ up and I’m gon’ do it again (Bridge – call and response, horns stabbing) (Lead) I said hush… (Kids / Band) Hush! (Lead) I said quit… (Kids / Band) Quit! (Lead) Or these hands gon’ hit… (Kids / Band) Hit! (Lead) And y’all gon’ feel it… (Kids / Band) Feel it! (Final Chorus – bigger, more ad-libs) Shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Pop!) Shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Don’t make me do it) I said shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again (Yeah, again!) Keep runnin’ wild and I’m gon’ do it again (One more time…) Shut up or I’ll pop you in the mouth again! (Outro – groove fades with spoken ad-libs) That’s right… Y’all better learn to listen… ‘Cause the next time… Daddy ain’t playin’.
