Martha Say

Em                        G           D              A
Martha say she don't need no stinking man making no decisions for her.
          Em                             G
She don't need his money, she don't need him between the sheets,
                D                                A
She ain't gonna sleep on the edge of the bed for no stinking man.
Em                                    G
And that's the way she lives 'cause I saw her last night
        D                   A
Pouring water on a drowning man in the moonlight, saying:

[Chorus]
Em
Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother,
G           D
Hi-de-hi-de-hey now, Martha.
Em
Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister.

Em                        G     D                   A
Martha say she don't need no revolver to shoot some idiot down.
       Em                            G
She can do it with her eyes, she can do it with her smile,
        D                              A
She can do it with a conversation just walking down the hall.
         Em                            G
Man, now ain't that the truth 'cause I saw her take a bite out of
     D                                A
Some macho dude laying some corn ball line on her last night, saying:

[Chorus]
Em
Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother,
G                    D
Hi-de-hi-de-hey now, Martha.
Em
Hi-de-hi-de-hi, sister.

Say what, hey you, look out, Martha.

Em
Hi-de-hi-de-hi, Martha.
G                              D
Say what, look out, shake it up Martha.

Em                                    G
Martha say say she ain't changin', no nothin' for nobody for
D            A
No damn good reason.
         Em                              G
It's the way that she wants it, it's the way that she gets it.
          D
Well, the girl loves playing hardball, it leaves me in a
A
No win situation saying:

[Chorus]
Em
Hi-de-hi-de-hi, brother,
G                    D
Hi-de-hi-de-hey now, Martha.

Say what, hey you, look out, Martha.
