Motor Mouth Songtext
von Herbie Hancock

Check out the one
Whose tongue is on the run
Bet they′ve been jawin' since the day begun
Havin′ a ball
That fly up on the wall
Learns every secret and destroys 'em all

You hear that voice 'round the bend
Out there rappin′ again
No there ain′t no doubt
That's a motor mouth
(Never seems to run out of breath)
That′s a motor mouth
(Come what may, they'll talk you to death)

Head full o′ news
Can't wait to let it loose
Just starts to pour that gossip over you
Words never stop
When that′s all that you got
Who cares if it's a lie or it's the truth?


You hear that voice ′round the bend
Out there rappin′ again
No there ain't no doubt
That′s a motor mouth
(Never seems to run out of breath)
That's a motor mouth
(Come what may, they′ll talk you to death)

Tells every story like there's clearly no tomorrow
Knows all the scandals that you want to deny
Puts out the rumors and lays back while all the sparks start to fly
That′s a motor mouth

You hear that voice 'round the bend
Out there rappin' again
No there ain′t no doubt
That′s a motor mouth
(Never seems to run out of breath)
That's a motor mouth
(Come what may, they′ll talk you to death)

Tells every story like there's clearly no tomorrow
Knows all the scandals that you want to deny
Puts out the rumors and lays back while all the sparks start to fly


Always around
There′s one in every crowd
Just look behind you; they'll be gettin′ down
Hard on the case
They'll put you in a daze
Then spread your laundry out all over town

You hear that voice 'round the bend
It′s that rappin′ again
No there ain't no doubt
That′s a motor mouth
(Never seems to run out of breath)
That's a motor mouth
(Come what may, they′ll talk you to death)

Always talkin', always squakin′
(Never seems to run out of breath)
Motor mouth
(Come what may, they'll talk you to death)
That's a motor mouth

Always talkin′, always squakin′
(Never seems to run out of breath)
Motor mouth
(Come what may, they'll talk you to death)

(Never seems to run out of breath)
(Come what may, they′ll talk you to death)
That's a motor mouth

How dibba, har digga, whatta ya digga, barmigga, ornamakah, harnaya
(Never seems to run out of breath)
Shut up yo mouth
(Come what may, they′ll talk you to death)

Forever, ever, ever, ow didda, how didda, ho didda,
(Never seems to run out of breath)
Hoi didda, ho didda, ha didda, shut up your mouth!
(Come what may, they'll talk you to death)

That′s a motor mouth
