Anybody have a lyric they once did not "ovastand" and now do?
I never knew the Mighty Diamonds lyric from "Black Brother" ...."why me black brother why, ya mash up ya poopa?..."
I finally humbled myself and asked what "poopa" (spelling?) meant....family..."mash up your family".
Never too old to learn "sumpin"....hehehe....
Anybody else have something to teach or need an answer to?

For the sake of what I admit is symmetry I am sticking with what I've always thought the lyrics were (spellings from the liner notes);

"mumma" - mother
"puppa" - papa, father

So in the song you have "mother", "father", "brother" and "sister".
That works for me.

I spelled it according to the pronunciation in the tune. That makes complete sense now that you wtote it out. Thank you~

No probs. My pleasure.
