Music and lyrics by Josie Cotton

lyrics

Well deep in the jungle lives a primitive man
Say ooga booga and he understands
He don’t have too many words to choose from
Sure enough knows how to use ‘em

Well, civilization is a different game
They’re double talkin’ every step of the way
Side effect from the elocution
What we get is a mass confusion

Chorus:
Straight Talk… Oh Baby, that’s what I need
Straight Talk… Baby baby, better give it to me
Straight Talk… Can’t believe a single word you say
Straight Talk… But I listen to it everyday
Gonna open up your eyes
Shut down all of this jive
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Straight Talk, Straight Talk

Some folks speak in a foreign tongue
Me I talk American
With a voulez vous and a con cuidado
It’s all the same far as I know
If you level with me, I‘m gonna get your draft
Like way out west, shoot it from the hip
Speak your mind, tell it like you see it
Come on say it like you really mean it

Chorus

Gonna bring you to your knees
Man you better believe
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Straight Talk, Straight Talk

Chorus

Gonna open up your eyes
Shut down all of this jive
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
Straight Talk, Straight Talk
