I tell you what!
They dont mess with me, Im a wild man, son
I got me my very own anti tank gun
I got a jack rabbit with it, guess he was a mean one
Yeah, Ive always been a sportsman
Now, there wasnt much left when I got to him
Them big old shells didnt just go through him
Just lumps of fur and that was it
Guess you could say he sure took a hit, alright
Yeah, you want to see my fire power, see my collection
Cause thats my thing, man, perfection
Now Im talking power in the barrel of a gun
Ill blow anything I want to kingdom come
Ba ba boom
Ba ba ba ba bomb
And Ill blow anything I want
To kingdom come
Yeah, all you got to do is squeeze on the trigger
And a little bitty human get a whole lot bigger
Cause theres a time for talking and a time to shoot them down
And this mama-jama dont pussy foot around, alright
Yeah, let them laugh, let them say were strange
Me and my buddies on the rifle range
But you wont be laughing when it hits the fan
Youre going to want to be a survivor, man
Yeah, you got to see my fire power, see my collection
Cause thats my thing, man, perfection
Now, Im talking power in the barrel of a gun
Ill blow anything I want to kingdom come
Ba ba boom
Ba ba ba ba bomb
And Ill blow anything I want
To kingdom come
Ba ba ba ba boom
I say we ought to drop the bomb
Yes, and Ill blow anything I want
To kingdom come
