Levi Stubbs - Mean Green Mother From Outer Space: Movie Version lyrics

rate me

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,

No, no way, no how

You don't know what you're messin' with,

But I'm gonna tell you now!

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh)

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 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!"

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh)

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 fightin' mad

I'm just a mean green mother from outer space,

Gonna trash your ass,

Gonna rock this place,

'Cause I'm mean and green and I am bad

(Hums)

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 shit

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

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh)

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

And I. Am. Bad!

Bye, bye Seymour!
