I heard a voicebox chatter in the neighborhood

They say Slim Jack Willie's gonna get you good

He's round the corner I gotta warn you

Lock up your window tight

You're in for trouble straight on the double

Lickity-split, babe, out go the lights.



You keep on messin', gonna learn your lesson

If you keep on messin' with the Junkyard Dawg

Don't jump the fence, boy, you got no sense

Don't go messin' with the Junkyard Dawg



He's low-down dirty and he's awful mean

Don't get yourself caught somewhere in between

Watch where you're walkin', watch who you're talkin' to

You can run, you can hide, but he's gonna get to you

You better watch your step



You keep on messin', gonna learn your lesson

If you keep on messin' with the Junkyard Dawg

Don't jump the fence, boy, you got no sense

Don't go messin' with the Junkyard Dawg



He can see right where you are, and he'll find you

Doesn't matter near or far

Said he's comin' behind you ... And watcha gonna do



You keep on messin', gonna learn your lesson

If you keep on messin' with the Junkyard Dawg

Don't jump the fence, boy, you got no sense

Don't go messin' with the Junkyard Dawg
