Dinah Washington
Mean and Evil Blues
Now I'm mean and evil, don't you mess around with me
Yes I'm mean and evil, don't you mess around with me
'Cause I'll mess you up with a bang, a dozen sticks of TNT!
First thing each mornin', I breaks me a lookin' glass
Then I goes out on the corner, waits for a black cat to pass
Can't sleep while there's a howlin' dog 'neath my window each night
And nothin' sends me like a good bloody fight!
Yes I'm mean and evil
But you no-good men made me that way!
Yes I'm mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me
Yes I'm so mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me
And I'm gonna stay that way till I find a man that's meaner than me!
