Collared greens and strychnine rice
Chicken feather stew
Let me take you by the hand
You can lick it too
Silver hair and shiny eyes
And brains like scrambled eggs
Rock 'n' roll in Sunday school
You dance on skinny legs

You don't know where I'm coming from
You don't know where I've been
And Charlie if you're lookin' to mess around
You're messin' with the baddest of the mean

You know what I mean
Don't mess with Mr Inbetween
Just keep your distance friend
Mess with my life and it's the end

They all call me Mr Softee
But my name is Tastee Freeze
Every night I prey to you, darlin'
Down on bended knee
Sittin' on the jail house floor
Thinkin' just of you
O my Lord, I do declare
I grew and inch or two

You don't know where I'm coming from
You don't know where I've been
And Charlie if you're lookin' to mess around
You're messin' with the baddest of the mean

You heard my story, not too much to tell
So now that I've complained
Let me give you one more side of my complete scene
I'll talk to you in a different language
And I hope maybe you'll understand
Listen

You don't know where I'm coming from
You don't know where I've been
And Charlie if you're lookin' to mess around
You're messin' with the baddest of the mean
