The Velvet Underground
Mean Old Man
[Verse 1]
Hey baby, I've found another
Don't you like it when I speak to your mother?
Hey crawlin' now I am cryin
Step aside, because babe, I'm flyin'

[Chorus]
I'm mean and I ride to shoot
Strap on my guns, yeah, and whip on my boots
All that other, well, it's just for the news
'Cause I'm a mean, mean old mean
Well I'm a mean, mean old man

[Verse 2]
Oh, little girl, spent your life on the dress
Found yourself in a cute little mess
Boys come, yeah, then they go
Still there's something that I think you should know

[Chorus]
Because I'm mean and I ride to shoot
Strap on my guns and pull on my boots
All that other, well it's just for the loot
'Cause I'm a mean, mean old man
Well, mean, mean old man
Oh...
[Verse 3]
Hey baby, I've found another
Don't you like it when I speak to your mother?
Hey crawlin' now and I am cryin'
Been this way now for some long time

[Chorus]
Because I'm mean and I ride to shoot
Strap on my guns, yeah, whip on my boots
All that other, well it's just for the loot
'Cause I'm a mean
Mean, mean old man

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm a mean mean (Mean old man)
Well yeah mean (Mean old man)
Say say say mean (Mean old man)
I told ya now (Mean old man)
Oh you know (Mean old man)
Get down (Mean old man)
Well get down (Mean old man)
Woo! (Mean old man)
