Cosmic Slop - Funkadelic

Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh, hear my mother call

Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh, hear my mother call

I was one of five born to my mother

An older sister and three young brothers

We’ve seen it hard, we’ve seen it kind of rough

But always with a smile, she was sure to try to hide

The fact from us that life was really tough

I can hear my mother call

I can hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Late at night I hear her call

Oh lord, lord I hear her call

She said, «Father, father it’s for the kids (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Any and every thing I did.

Please, please don’t judge me too strong.

Lord knows I meant no wrong.

Lord knows I meant no wrong.»

Then the devil sang

«Would you like to dance with me?

(Ooh-ahh-ooh)

We’re doin' the cosmic slop."(Ooh-ahh-ooh)

She was well known through the ghetto

Tricks would come and then they’d go

The neighbors would talk and call her Jezebel

But always with a smile, she was sure to try to hide

The fact from us that she was catching hell, hey!

Hear my mother call

I can hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Late at night I hear her call

Oh lord, lord I hear her call

She says, «Father, father it’s for the kids (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Any and every thing I did.

Please, please don’t judge me too strong.

Lord knows I meant no wrong.

Lord knows I meant no wrong.»

Lord!

(Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Hear my mother call

(Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)

Hear my mother call

She says, «Father, father it’s for the kids (ooh-ah-ooh)

Any and every thing I did.

(ooh-ah-ooh)

Please, please don’t judge me too strong.

Hear my mother call (ooh-ah-ooh)

Hear my mother call (Ahhh, ahh-ah-ahhhhh)
