You're in trouble
Big trouble
Judy's boyfriend got out today
When he was in jail you took his girl away
When he gets back you're gonna have to pay him double
You'd better worry
Or you'll be sorry
He's at the edge of town and he's got a gun
Better get out fast, get up and run
You won't get no help from anyone here son
Better hurry.
Forget the romance
Move your pants
If you don't get out now
You won't get another chance.
Cause he's a mad dog
Don't get into a fight
He's a mad dog
Better shoot on sight
Before he tries to bite.
(Sax Solo)
You'd better run 'til you drop
Don't try to stop
Find a mountain
And climb right up to the top.
Cause he's a mad dog
Don't get into a fight
He's a mad dog
Better shoot on sight
Before he tries to bite.
Use your head
Or you'll be dead
He's at the end of the street, and he's shouting your name
He's lost his girl and you're to blame
Any second now that gun'll spit flame and lead.
Anyhow
It's too late now
With a smile on his face he walks through the door
Fires his gun and your head hits the floor
Did you really think love was worth dying for
It's just trouble.
You'd better run 'til you drop
Don't try to stop
Find a mountain
And climb right up to the top.
Cause he's a mad dog
Don't get into a fight
He's a mad dog
Better shoot on sight
Before he tries to bite.
