Well listen pretty baby
Let's go out tonight
Tell your mama not to worry
Everything's gonna be alright
Don't let me hear you talking
Just be there when I call
'cause I do I do my way
or it won't be done at all
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
I was born a tiger, I've always had my way
Nothing's gonna change me on this or any day
Don't let me hear you argue when I say walk or jump
A woman ain't been born yet that can play me for a chump
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
Don't ask me for a reason
Don't even wonder why
I'll walk away and leave you
I don't wanna see you cry
I've done a lot of planning
I've got lotta things to do
So don't give me no trouble
Or me and you are through
Little girl
Better hear what I say
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
I'm an easygoing guy
But I always gotta have my way
But I always gotta have my way

Keep looking back over your shoulder
You don't know who might be there
Hiding under your bed or right behind your chair
Watching every move now and hearing every word
Be careful what you say now, you might be overheard
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
He might be near
He's watching from the tv
He waits to make a pass
You pour him from a bottle
He's smiling from your glass
He talks through women's lips now
He laughs through those eyes
Shooting from the hip now
It's all a batch of lies
Don't talk of the devil
Don't talk of the devil
Don't say I didn't warn you
'cause I'm a man who knows
Who wishes he'd never been born
Bad from head to toe
Better keep your nose clean
And keep your cards to your chest
The only thing you can do know
Is keep hoping for the best
If you've ever been down to new orleans
Then you can understand just what I mean
All through the week it's as quiet as a mouse
But on Saturday night they go from house to house
You don't have to pay when you only mention
If you're a cook or a waiter or a good musician
If you just happen to be passing by
Stop in at the Saturday night fish fry
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
Now my buddy and me was on the bandstand
Fooling around, just me and him
We decided we could use something to eat
So we went to a house on rampart street
We knocked on the door and it opened with ease
A light-skinned miss said 'come in, please'
Before we could even bat an eye
We was right in the middle of a big fish fry
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
Now the woman was screaming and jumping and yelling
The bottles were flying and the fish were smelling
From way up above all the noise they made
Somebody hollered 'better get outta here, this is a raid'
I didn't know we were breaking the law
Somebody reached over and hit me on the jaw
They had locked up from the front and the back
Putting them in the wagon like potato sacks
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
'til the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
I knew I could away if I had the chance
But I was shaking like I had St. Vitus' dance
I tried to crawl under a bathtub
A policeman said 'hey, now where you going, bud? '
They got us outta there like a house on fire
And put us all in that black mariah
They might of missed one or two
But they got both me and my buddy too
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
Well we headed for jail in a dazed condition
They booked each one of us on suspicion
My chick came down and she went my bail
Finally got me outta that rotten jail
If you ever wanna go get a fist in your eye
Just mention a Saturday night fish fry
I don't care how many fish in the sea
Don't ever mention a fish to me
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
It was rocking, it was rocking
You never seen such scuffling and shuffling
Till the break of dawn
In the beginning there was adam and eve
Everything was cool until she found that apple tree
Don't you know it ain't right
Don't you know it ain't right

Delilah was a beauty, samson was a man
When he fell asleep she had those scissors in her hand
Don't you know it ain't right
Don't you know it ain't right
Don't you know it ain't right
Don't you know it ain't right
Well you know it ain't right baby
Even made a fool of me

Don't you know it ain't right
Don't you know it ain't right
Don't you know it ain't right
Don't you know it ain't right
Well you know it ain't right baby
Even made a fool of me

If this life is driving you to drink
You're sitting around wondering just what to think
Well I got some consolation
I'll give it to you if I might
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
You know this world's just one big trouble spot
Some have and some have not
You know, I used to be troubled but
I finally saw the light
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
Don't waste your time trying to be a go-getter
Things will get worse before they get any better
You know there's always somebody playing with dynamite
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright
I don't worry about a thing
I know nothing's gonna be alright

Don't call my name, I just must answer
This ain't no game, I ain't no chanter
Don't get me wrong, I don't want trouble
You come back strong, I'll come back double
I don't mess around, I'm dangerous
She's like a knife, sharp but pretty
She'll break your heart just for fun
You bet your life, you'll get no pity
She'll drop you flat when it's done
Look but just don't touch, she's dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
Big city lights, cold city nights
Sharks taking bites, dangerous
Dangerous

Big city lights, cold city nights
Sharks taking bites, dangerous

So just get smart and keep away now
You wouldn't like the games we play now
It gets kinda' rough, we're dangerous
