Better wait a minute Ya better hold the phone
Better mind your manners Better change your tone
Don't you threaten me, son Ya gotta 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
You don't know what you're lookin' at when you're lookin' here
Ya don't know what you're up against,

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

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? You better step aside
Better take a tip, boy Want some good advice?
You 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!)

Don't you talk to me about old King Kong
You think he's the worst, well, you're thinkin' wrong
Don't talk to me about Frankenstein
He got a temper, ha! He ain't got mine
You know I don't come from no black lagoon
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon
You can keep the bang, keep the it,
keep the creature, they don't mean shit
I got one 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
