There’s a bad man jabbering, hammering
Clawing at the castle door
I’m inside with my eyes open wide
And I can’t take this anymore
Butterflies in my belly, I’m quivering like a jelly
It’s a veritable Sturm Und Drang
But the man in the yard slams his fist back hard
And the doors open up with a bang

And the loud noise wakes up Daddy
The trunk of the family tree
He comes to the door and says “Oh, my laddie!
You’ll wish you’d never messed with me.”

And he said, “Sonny, get my knuckledustеr
‘Cause I refuse to stand for this
So gеt thee from my presence, buster
Or feel the steel clutched in my fist
So tremble fiend, and tremble rightly
For I beat creeps like you for fun
For I am old, but boy I’m sprightly
So get my knuckleduster, son

But the bad man chuckles with the drink
And just stays there, standing his ground
Poor guy. He should just say goodbye
But he must be new in town
‘Cause round here all the people shake with fear
Because my Daddy is a frightening man
They know well that if my Daddy tells you to jump
You jump as high as you can
So you’d better gear up for some action
You’re dancing with disaster tonight
For I anticipate a reaction
And Papa’s anticipating a fight

And he said, “Sonny, get my knuckleduster
‘Cause I refuse to stand for this
So get thee from my presence, buster
Or feel the steel clutched in my fist
Of all the arms at my disposal
On you I wouldn’t waste my gun
So get ready for an ending, so ignoble
And get my knuckleduster, son
Oh yeah

And he said, “Sonny, get my knuckleduster
‘Cause I refuse to stand for this
So get thee from my presence, buster
Or feel the steel clutched in my fist
For I am the jury and the judge, you weasel
And I won’t stop until my task is done
So prepare for a different paradigm of evil
And get my knuckleduster, son
