Lyrics
Better wait a minute
Ya better hold the phone
Ya better mind your manners
Better change your tone
Don't you threaten me, son
You got a lot of gall
We gonna do things my way
Or we won't do things at all!
Ya don't know what you're messin' with
You got no idea
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
When you're lookin' here
Ya don't know what you're up against
No, no way, no how
You don't know what you're messin' with
But I'm gonna tell you now!
Get this straight!
I'm just a mean green mother, from outer space
And I'm bad!
I'm just a mean green mother, from outer space
And it looks like you've been had!
I'm just a mean green mother, from outer space
So get off my back
'N get out my face
'Cause I'm mean and green
And I am bad!
Wanna save your skin, boy?
You wanna save your hide?
You wanna see tomorrow?
(Ha-Ha!)
You better step aside
Better take a tip, boy
Want some good advice?
Ya better take it easy
'Cause you're walkin' on thin ice!
Ya don't know what you're dealin' with
No, you never did!
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
But that's tough titty, kid!
The lion don't sleep tonight
And if you pull his tail, he roars!
Ya say, "That ain't fair?"
Ya say, "That ain't nice?"
Ya know what I say?
"Up yours!"
Watch me now!
I'm just a mean green mother, from outer space
And I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother
A real disgrace
And you've got me fightn' mad!
I'm just a mean green mother, from outer space
Gonna trash your ass!
Gonna rock this place!
I'm mean and green
And I am bad
You know I don't come from no Black Lagoon
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon!
You can keep the thing
Keep the it
Keep the creature
They don't mean sh*t!
I got garden style
Major moves
I got the stuff
And I think that proves
You better move it out!
Nature calls!
You got the point?
I'm gonna bust your balls!
Here it comes!
I'm just a mean green mother, from outer space
And I'm bad!
I'm just a mean green mother
A real hard case
You can't beat this trouble, man
I'm just a mean green mother, from outer space
So just give it up
It's all over, ace
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space)
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space)
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space)
And I...
Am...
Bad!
