Missionary Man

Well I was born an original sinner.
I was borne 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...

My mother told me good
My mother 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.";

Don't mess with a missionary man.
Don't mess with a missionary man.

Well 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 doing.";
";Get down upon your knees.";
";I've got a message for you that you better believe.";

(Chorus repeats...)
