We'll be going back into the past
A little bit right here
And bringing back some of the good old days
We're going to remind you
When you used to get into a little devilment
And the things that mom and daddy used to scold you
About when you were out in the street
And when you got home
They used to tell you things like this
Boy, if you don't straighten up
Here's what we're going to do
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty
I remember the time my mama said to me
(Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty)
No use shooting the line
That's how it had to be
(Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty)
Well, taught us all to understand
What it takes to be a man
That's the way she planned
She taught us right from the wrong
We had to get it on
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty
(Don't waste no time in tryin' to talk, no)
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty
(Bet it won't even do no good)
What is all this mama said
About you messing around?
(Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty)
I put all my trust in you, child
Now don't you let me down
(Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty)
Mama laid it on the line
Ain't gonna be no second time
She didn't take no time
You had to turn it right
Just to keep it tight
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty
(Don't wear your pants off
Or you'll be jobbed)
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty
(It's gonna take some time
To mind your mama)
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty
(You gotta do just what she tells you)
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin' your duty
(Don't even wanna forget, no no no)
All her stuff the way she knew
(She gonna take no jive)
Told us all just what to do
(Told us right from the wrong)
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin your duty
(When all your pants off)
(Or you'll be jobbed)
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin your duty
(If it don't mind, if it don't mind your mama)
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin your duty
(You better do all that she tells you to)
Beat your booty
If ya ain't been doin your duty
(Don't even forget that golden rule)
Beat your booty
