| Now this bad boy back in Brooklyn
|
| With such a hunger in his eyes.
|
| He was tall, he was lean, you just know he was mean,
|
| Just like a devil in disguise.
|
| Well, this man, he just stood in a corner,
|
| Another one of those quiet kind,
|
| But you just smell bad news like a long slow fuse
|
| Guaranteed to blow your mind.
|
| It was after dark, in Sunset Park,
|
| In the heat of a New York night.
|
| When a shot rang out, I heard somebody shouted:
|
| «This bad Mambajamba’s gonna make it all right»
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| Ain’t nothing to say about it.
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| I said «That's ok I wouldn’t doubt it»
|
| Don’t be a bad guy, be a nice guy…
|
| Now he looks to the left, he looks to the right,
|
| Looks away, 'cause he don’t care to fight.
|
| When push comes to shove, and shove comes to push,
|
| He strikes like a rattlesnake from out of a bush.
|
| So if you hear that sound — better get out town,
|
| Before the walls come tumbling down!
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| Ain’t nothing to say about it.
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| I said «That's ok maybe some other day»
|
| 'Cause what once was patience
|
| Is suddenly a blinding rage
|
| So don’t you be mistaken,
|
| You bound to break, get out of the way!
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| Ain’t nothing to say about it!
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| I said «That's ok I wouldn’t doubt it»
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| Ain’t nothing to say about it.
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| I said «That's ok maybe another day»
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| Ain’t nothing to say about it.
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| I said «That's ok maybe another day»
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| Ain’t nothing to say about it!
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| I said «That's ok ha, ha, ha, ha»
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| Ain’t nothing to say about it!
|
| Don’t stand, don’t you stand in my way!
|
| I said «That's ok» |
