Lyrics
Papa Gets Mean
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.
Yeah, yeah
You can laugh at him right in the face
Try to put him in disgrace
That ain't the way to bring your Papa down
You can tackle him and tease him
Insult him and then leave him
But that ain't the way to bring your Papa down
Papa gets mean, Papa gets bad
When friends get nagged
When Papa gets mean, he gets really mad
You can make him look at misery
Put six spoons of salt in his cuppa tea
But that ain't the way to bring your Papa down
You can shake him out of his favourite tree
Let the gutter water run right up to his knee
No that ain't the way to bring your Papa down
Papa gets mean, Papa gets bad
When friends get nagged
When Papa gets mean, he gets really mad
But you better not touch his brother
Or some defenceless mother
You better make sure your Papa's not around
If you'd get mean on his best friend
He might get nervous in the end
Papa would surely shake you upside down
Papa gets mean, Papa gets bad
When friends get nagged
When Papa gets mean, he gets really mad
