Mean Green Mother From Outer Space
Composer(s): Alan Menken; Howard Ashman



Better wait a minute
Ya better hold the phone
Ya better mind your manners
Better change your tone

Don't you threaten me son
You got a lot of gall
We gonna do things my way
Or we won't do things at all

Ya don't know what you're messin' with
You got no idea
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
When you're lookin' here

Ya don't know what you're up against
No, no way, no how
You don't know what you're messin' with
But I'm gonna tell you now! 

Get this straight! 
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space 
and it looks like you been had
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
So get off my back, 'n get out my face
'Cause I'm mean and green 
And I am bad

Wanna save your skin boy? 
You wanna save your hide? 
You wanna see tomorrow? (Ha-Ha!) 
You better step aside
Better take a tip boy 
Want some good advice? 
Ya better take it easy
'Cause you're walkin' on thin ice

Ya don't know what you're dealin' with
No, you never did
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
But that's tough titty, kid! 

The Lion don't sleep tonight
And if you pull his tail, he roars
Ya say, "That ain't fair?" 
Ya say, "That ain't nice?" 
Ya know what I say? "Up yours!" 

Watch me now! 
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space 
And I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother, a real disgrace
And you've got me violent and mad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space
Gonna trash your ass! Gonna rock this place! 
I'm mean and green
And I am bad

Don't talk to me about old King-Kong
You think he's the worst? 
Well, you're thinkin' wrong
Don't talk to me about Frankenstein
He got a temper? -Ha!- He ain't got mine

You know I don't come from no black lagoon
I'm from past the stars and beyond the moon
You can keep the thing
Keep the it
Keep the creature, they don't mean shit! 

I got garden style, major moves
I got the stuff, and I think that proves
You better move it out! 
Nature calls! 
You got the point? 
I'm gonna bust your balls! 

Here it comes! 
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space 
And I'm bad
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space 
A real hard case 
You can't beat this trouble, man
I'm just a mean green mother from outer space 
So just give it up 
It's all over, ace
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space) 
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space) 
I'm mean and green
(Mean green mother from outer space) 
And I...am...bad!
