Well I was born an original sinner
I was borne from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill
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 in 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 a message for you that you better believe.`
