Lyrics

I went through the jungle I met a king snake
He said excuse me mister I think I made a mistake
I looked at the lion He bowed his head
I looked at the tiger And he fell dead
Oh so evil Evil, as anybody can be
You know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Don't nobody mess with me
I met an elephant,it was big as a house
I made him reduce so he looked like a mouse
I met a bear And he was so big
I made him lose his hair and now he needs a wig
Oh so evil Evil, as anybody can be
I'm so darn gone evil
Don't nobody mess with me
I met a rattlesnake, he thought he was smart
He was double dealing ace card
He sneaked up and bit me Stretched out and died
So when you see me coming You better run in high
Oh so evil Evil, as anybody can be
I'm a nature born lover Don't nobody mess with me
