Текст песни Mean and Evil Blues Alternate Take (Remastered) - Dinah Washington

Now I′m mean and evil, don't you mess around with me,
Yes I′m mean and evil, don't you mess around with me,
'Cause I′ll mess you up with a bang, a dozen sticks of TNT!

First thing each mornin′, I breaks me a lookin' glass,
Then I goes out on the corner, waits for a black cat to pass.
Can′t sleep while there's a howlin′ dog 'neath my window each night,
And nothin′ sends me like a good bloody fight!
Yes I'm mean and evil,
But you no-good men made me that way!

Yes I'm mean and evil, even rain don′t fall on me,
Yes I′m so mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me,
And I′m gonna stay that way till I find a man that's meaner than me!
