Bad Bad Leroy Brown,
The daddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old King Kong
Meaner than a Junkyard dog.

I was scared and fearing for my life,
I was shaking like a leaf on a tree,
'Cause he was lean and mean and big and bad
And apointin' that gun at me.

And I'm bad

Can we forget about
The things I said when I was drunk?
I didn't mean to call you that.

Mean Mister Mustard
Lives in the park
Shaves in the dark
Tryin' to save paper

-Beatles

Heaz said...

whoops, or is it

Mean Mister Mustard
SLEEPS in the park...?

Now that's going to bug me. Oh well, I got the MEAN, right!

Sandra Dodd said...

Gunwaldt was too generous with John Lennon's "Jealous Guy," too!

Mean Mr. Mustard probably did both of those things.

I know there's a "I mean... I mean..." in Alice's Restaurant, when he's in the recruitment office. "I mean I'm sittin' here on the Group W bench..."

But that part's not sung, so maybe it shouldn't count.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.

Oh I could have loved you better
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Tom Paxton wrote it

Margaret said...

I didn't mean a word I said
And if I hurt you, I'm sorry
I didn't mean to lose my head,
And if I made you cry, I'm so sorry
It was just another foolish quarrel
So won't you end it with a kiss
And just remember this
Except the time I said I love you
I didn't mean a word I said

Ella sang it

It must be
Great fun to be mean to me
But gee, baby
Can't you see
What you mean to me?

(Turk/Ehlert)

It means so much to me
like a birthday or a pretty view
but then I'm sure
that you know it's just for you...

And you know what I mean
The way she looked was way beyond compare

He was a mean individual, he had a heart like a bone
He was a naturally crazy man and better off left alone
Well he stopped one night at a traffic light, and when that light turned green
He was a mean individual stranded in a limousine
