Don't have to do what your mother has done

Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, We are shakin' the tree

B                                     E
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
B                                 E
Changing your ways, more than any man can do

                           E                     B
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel

            E             B
You have to be so strong
         E
I can do nothing wrong
                     B
Nothing wrong at all
            E              B
We're gonna break it down
           E
We have to shake it down

Shake it all around
