Lyrics

Well, I was born an original sinner I was born from original sin And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin (hey) My mama told me good, my mama told me strong She said, "Be true to yourself and you can't go wrong" But there's just one thing that you must understand You can fool with your brother But don't mess with a missionary man (no) Don't mess with a missionary man (oh, no) Don't mess with a missionary man (oh, no) Don't mess with a missionary man (oh, yeah) Yeah, the missionary man, he's got God on his side He's got the saints and apostles backin' up from behind Black eyed looks from those Bible books He's a man with a mission, got a serious mind There was a woman in the jungle and a monkey on a tree The missionary man he was followin' me He said, "Stop what you're doin', get down upon your knees I've got a message for you that you better believe, believe, believe" (hey) Hey-hey-hey, oh Hey-hey-hey, oh-oh Hey-hey-hey, oh Hey-hey-hey Well, I was born an original sinner I was born from original sin And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money... No, don't mess with him no, no Don't mess with a missionary man Missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man (don't mess with him) Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man (people no, no) You don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man, oh-oh-oh Yeah-yeah People no, no Don't mess with him no, no Oh-oh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Well, cut!
