Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come in this house stop all that yakity yak
Come in this house, woman, stop all that yakity yak
Stop your yappin' woman you're nothing but an alley cat

You come on in here, talkin' bout this and that
You come on in here woman talkin' bout this and that
Don't you make me nervous I'm holding a baseball bat
Honey hush, you're talkin' too much
Honey hush, oh, you're talkin' too much
I'm a gonna love you honey
I'm takin' no more this stuff

[Chorus]
Well it's
Hi-ho, hi-yo silver
Hi-ho, hi-yo silver
Hi-ho, hi-yo silver
Hi-ho, hi-yo silver

Hi-yo silver away

You come on in here, talkin' bout this and that
You come on in here woman talkin' bout this and that
Don't you ever make me nervous
Cause I'm holding a baseball bat

Honey hush, you're talkin' too much
Honey hush, oh, you're talkin' too much
Well, I'm a gonna love you honey
I ain't takin' no more a this stuff





[Chorus]
