Mean and Evil Blues
Claude Demetrius, Irene Higginbotham
Yes, I'm mean and evil
Don't you mess around with me
Yes, I'm mean and evil
Don't you mess around with me
'Cause I will mess you up
Like a dozen sticks of TNT
Yes, I'm so mean and evil
Even rain don't fall on me
Yes, I'm so mean and evil
Even rain don't fall on me
But I'm gonna find me a man
Who is meaner than me
First thing each morning
I break me a looking glass
I go out on the corner
And wait for a black cat to pass
Can't sleep 'less there's a howling dog
'Neath my window each night
Nothing thrills me better
Than a good burnin' fight
Yes, I'm so mean and evil
And you know good men make me that way
Well, I'm so mean and evil
I made my daddy cry
Yes, I'm so mean and evil
Even made my daddy cry
But I'm gonna love that man
Love him till the day I die
