Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite 
All the things he says and the things he does will make you shake with fright
Beware of Dennis the menace, oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes

His mom and dad get nervous whenever he's too quiet
They never know what will happen next: a cyclone, flood or riot

Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray
When he looks at you with those eyes of blue he'll steal your heart away

Last night I got a spanking
I don't know what to think
'Cause all I did was fill my water pistol full of ink

Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite 
All the things he says and the things he does will make you shake with fright
Beware of Dennis the menace, oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes

Now I ask you: did mommy have to yell at me like that
Just because I watered all those flowers on her hat
Oh, my daddy love to ride in planes, way high up in the sky
He didn't see my roller skates and oh boy, did he fly!

Dennis, the menace, he's a bundle of dynamite 
All the things he says and the things he does will make you shake with fright
Beware of Dennis the menace, oh, you'd better be on your toes
There is bound to be a calamity no matter where he goes

Now we were playing train with daddy's chair, just me and another kid
My daddy said, "now, break it up" and that's just what we did

His mom and dad get nervous whenever he's too quiet
They never know what will happen next: a cyclone or a riot

Dennis the menace, though he makes your hair turn gray
When he looks at you with those eyes of blue he'll steal your heart away
