WHEN MOTHER SAYS MOVE
(Words and music; Colin Reece)

From the Albums '1748' by The Dee Bees,
'Slaughterhouse' and 'Slaughterhouse the Live Concert' by Ian Cutler
and 'Like The Snow' by the Bully Wee Band

An attempt to write a country blues from a title given to me by my Aunt Pat
when she was describing to me that the powers that be will have their way.

When mother says move we all move

When mother says move we all move

You can give it all out that you wanna stay

But you'd better believe boy there ain't no way

When mother says move we all move.

When mother says play we all play

When mother says play we all play

You can give it all out, you can beg and plead

'Til your lips are numb and your fingers bleed

But when mother says play we all play.

When mother says dance we all dance

When mother says dance we all dance

You can give it all out that you wanna sit down

But you're better on your feet boy moving around

'Cos when mother says dance you'd better dance.

When mother says go we all go

When mother says go we all go

You can give it all out that you're excused

That it was him over there and it wasn't you

But when mother says go we all go.

So when mother says move you'd better move

When mother says move you'd better move

You can give it all out that you wanna stay

But you'd better believe boy there ain't no way

Cos when mother says move we all move

You'd better move

You'd better move

You'd better move.
