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.
