Mr. Lion Songtext
von Jon Spencer

If you got hate in your heart
Then you got hate in your home
Baby, where can you go
When you feel like you just don′t belong?
Hey Mr. Lion, please stop acting so tough
Tell me, how is that any way to get along?

Saturday night I was looking so good
And feeling so fine
That's when I got all stinky
From the corner of my eye
Mr. Chimpanzee, Elephant
And Mrs. Crocodile
Caught up in a ruckus
They was playing rough and wild


Halftime loser
Lost time baby
Take care of what you got
Or lose what you don′t
Listen to me now
And believe what I say

There was a great big commotion
In the jungle that day
Mr. Lion and his boys
Yeah, they was rounding 'em up
Everyone screaming and crying
But they just could not get away

Trying to sort it out
Process what's in my mind
The truth, well sometimes
That′s just not easy to find
Can′t get why, can't get what
Just what is wrong with this cat
Baby, how is being different
Such a terrible crime?


Halftime loser
Lost time baby
Take care of what you got
Or lose what you don′t
Halftime loser
Lost time baby

Oh baby, you can wake up one morning
To find out your whole world has changed

Now the ground did shake
As they burned the coconut trees
It was all chaos and fear
But then what did I see?
Meow, meow, meow
The cutest little kitten looking right up at me

All it took was some milk
And a nice warm lap
We all need love
And don't it feel good to laugh?
Now Mr. Lion, behave
Please, I said that′s enough
