Haul up you mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper. x2 

Mother Pepper x2 

Just stand and look at your mouth, it big as the Gulf of 
Mexico. 
And if some one say red, see ya Jah, 
ooh, you deh right den. 
Like when dem say "fire under moos-moos tail and him 
think of cold breeze." 

Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper. 

Haul up you mouth and give me pass, Mother Pepper. 

Mother Pepper x2 

Gal what make you so hot 
And your foot dry like fe rat bat 
You hot like fire breaking a dish 
And your neck favor cutlass fish. 

how could you say its a sham, and you mouth gettin caught 
in a jam, 
Mother Pepper, Mother Pepper......
