Egg Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Ahh, yeah

I looked out the window, seen his bald head

Ran to the fridge and pulled out an egg

Scoped him with my scopes, he had no hair

Launched that shot, and he was caught out there

Saw the convertible driving by

I loaded up the slingshot, let one fly

He went for his to find he didn't have one

Put him in check, correct, with my egg-gun

The egg, a symbol of life

I go inside your house and bust out your wife

I pulled out the jammy, he thought it was a joke

The trigger, I pulled - his face, the yolk

Reached in his pocket, took all his cash

Left my man standing with the egg mustache

Suckers, they come a dime a dozen

When I say dozen, you know what I'm talkin' about, boy

Yeah, that's right, I'm the Egg Man

Driving around, king of the town (yeah)

Always got my windows rolled down

Ready to throw

You know, I'm the Egg Man

Once upon a time (Egg Man)

Humpty Dumpty was a big fat egg

He was playing the wall, then he broke his leg

Tossed it out the window, three minutes hot

Hit the Rastaman, he said, (Bloodclot!)

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I egged the chicken, and then I ate his leg

Riding the trains, in between cars

When I pull out the station, You're Gonna Get Yours

Drive-by eggings, plaguing LA

Yo, you just got my little cousin, ese!

Sometimes hard-boiled, sometimes runny (Ray)

Comes from a chicken, not a bunny, dummy

People laugh, it's no joke

My name's yauch and I'm throwing the yolk

Now they got me in a cell, but I don't care

It was then that I got caught catching people out there

Up on the roof, in my car, up all night

I'm going through science like Dolemite

The Mack (Who?)

I'm the Egg Man, Taxi driver?

I'm the Egg Man

Egg Man, Egg Man

We all dressed in black, we snuck up around the back

We began to attack, the eggs did crack on Haze's back

Sam I Am, down with the program

Green Eggs and Ham, Yosemite Sam

Come Halloween, you know I come strapped

I throw it at a sucker k-pap

You made the mistake and judge a man by his race

You go through life with egg on your face

Woke up in the morning, peculiar feeling

Looked up and saw egg dripping from the ceiling

The family, punk rocks, the businessman

I'll dog everybody with the egg in my hand

It's not like the crack that you put in a pipe

But crack on your forehead; here's a towel, now wipe

Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man, Egg Man
