I'm a guy that likes his fun
 And when I fight, you'd [bad word]  I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 I'm goin' down in a middle of town
 I'm goin' to shoot the first man down
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 My skin is hot as leather I'm as tough as any man
 When I have to shave myself, I use an old tin can
 I wash my face in boilin' wax and [bad word] myself with gunny sacks
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 Refrain:
 I'm mean – I'm mean – I'm mean
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 I was raised on tiger's milk
 I drink corn liquor and I smoke corn silk
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 I chew up tin and I spit out nails
 Sleep on snakes with ten-foot tails
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun
 I started feelin' frisky
 And I danced the other night
 I fell so good, I took my gun and shot out ev'ry light

 Now the Sheriff said, get out off town
 Take him six feet under ground
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 Refrain:

 I throwed my saddle on a grizzly bear
 Then I crawled bare-handed in his mountain lair
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 I cut my hair on a choppin' block
 And when I chopped, the mountains rocked
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 I tangled with a wild cat, just to proof that I was stout
 Reached down his throat and grabbed his tail, then turned him inside out
 Where I was raised, it's so darn tough
 I had to leave, it got so rough
 I'm a mean, mean, mean son of a gun

 Refrain:
