[Verse 1]
One night at the disco, I wanted to dance slow
I saw a sweet baby, such a fine lady
And I walked up to ask her, but some dude just grabbed her
I told him to back off, cut me some slack off

[Verse 2]
I see you come here, drinkin' that cheap beer
Act like you own it, I can't condone it
You show me no respect, you got to get off it
You got to get with it, time for a swift kick

[Chorus]
You see, I own this town, you best not come around
If you wanna get by, then cool it down
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king

[Verse 3]
You wanted attention, and did I mention?
Nobody likes you, except for the losers
You made a whole army, an army of babies
Some of them stupid, some of them crazy
[Verse 4]
Pick up your action, act like a grown man
Look at the winners, you could be like them
Life is so easy, pleasant and dreamy
If you get off me, if you get with me

[Chorus]
You see I own this town, you best not come around
If you wanna get by, then cool it down
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king

[Bridge: Rivers Cuomo]
You can't break me, never take me
That's just how it is
You can't break me, never shake me
Clear out of my biz

[Chorus]
You see I own this town, you best not come around
If you wanna get by, then cool it down
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king
[Outro]
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
