(i'm a) mean ole lion

say what you wanna

but i'm here to stay

'cause i'm a mean ole lion

you can go where you're gonna

but don't get in my way

i'm a mean ole lion

you'll be standing in a draft

if you don't hear me laugh

and if you happen to come around

well

you best not make me frown

for i just might knock you down

i'm a mean ole lion

you know i'm ready to fight

and turn your day into night

'cause i'm a mean ole lion

if you're half bright

you'll detour to the right

from a mean ole lion

all you strangers better beware

this is the king of the jungle here

and if i happen to let you slide

don't just stand here

run and hide

you just caught my better side

i'm a mean ole lion

look

you better beware

this is the king of the jungle here

and if i happen to let you slide

don't stand here

run and hide

you just caught my better side

i'm a mean ole lion

i'm a mean ole lion
