Mean Little Man

Mean little man with a deep mean streak.
Keeps you under his thumb every day of the week.

Doesn't want to be your mother, and not your father, no.
Planning just to be your new Uncle Joe.

He only knows one truth and it's a big fat lie.
But if you disagree with him you're just gonna die.

Doesn't want to be your mother, and not your father, no.
Working just to be your new Uncle Joe.

Maybe he can be Peter the Great,
If everyone else will just cooperate.
Or maybe he can be Catherine the Great –
Or maybe he’ll find out that he’s too late.

He kinda likes poison, he really likes war.
Bodies everywhere - he doesn't keep score.

Doesn't want to be your mother, and not your father, no.
He just wants to be your new Uncle Joe.
Maybe he can be Peter the Great,
If everyone else will just cooperate.
Or maybe he can be Catherine the Great –
Or maybe he’ll find out that it’s too late.
It’s too late.
