Don't mess with the guy with the one chipped tooth
Don't mess with the guy in the blue plaid suit
Don't mess with the guy with the big red guitar
Don't mess with his girlfriend don't mess with his car. Hey!

You're cruisin' for a bruisin'
Yeah, you're cruisin' for a bruisin'
Don't say nothing about his girl or his car
You just might fight the un-winnable war

Now if he takes her out for a night on the town
Somehow you're always just a hangin' around
And if it happens each and every night
Don't make eyes at her man there's gonna be a fight. Hey!

You're cruisin' for a bruisin'
Yeah, you're cruisin' for a bruisin'
Sure seems funny how you always know
Just where that guy and his girlfriend go

Whoa!
Whoa!

Just in case you're wondering who I'm talking about
Let's get it straight so there ain't any doubt
You're just acting dumb if you don't know it's me
If you know what's good for you you'll just leave us be
You're cruisin' for a bruisin'
Yeah, you're cruisin' for a bruisin'
Let me remind you on your way out the door
Don't go messin' with that shoe-box ford
