I'm A Mean Ole Lion lyrics[]
- Say what you wanna
- But I'm here to stay
- 'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
- You can go where you're gonna
- But don't get in my way
- I'm a mean ole lion
- You'll be standing in a draft
- If you don't hear me laugh
- And if you happen to come around
- Well, you best not make me frown
- For I just might knock you down
- I'm a mean ole lion
- You know I'm ready to fight
- And turn your day into night
- 'Cause I'm a mean ole lion
- If you're half bright
- You'll detour to the right
- From a mean ole lion
- All you strangers better beware
- This is the king of the jungle here
- And if I happen to let you slide
- Don't just stand here
- Run and hide
- You just caught my better side
- I'm a mean ole lion
- I'm a mean ole lion
