Black shoes tie and overcoat
Head full of lines and don't you know
I can see you coming from a mile
Well he's looking for another taste
But i'm gonna put him in his place
With charm and grace
Elegance and style
So think about it first
Before you make it worse
Cause it's about to get a whole lot harder
And if it all works out
There won't be a doubt
At all you're headed for the boiling water
Well he's got his mother on his side
Up to his neck with selfish pride
It's costing him a lot more than he knows
Well he's looking for another fight
I hope he knows that we just might
Take him for everything he owns
So think about it first
Before you make it worse
Cause it's about to get a whole lot harder
And if it all works out
There won't be a doubt
At all you're headed for the boiling water
So think about it first
Before you make it worse
Cause it's about to get a whole lot harder
And if it all works out
There won't be a doubt
At all you're headed for the boiling water
