When all around you seems against you

You’re a square peg in a round hole

Something trying to rope and fence you

Here’s a bit of advice you should know

When I’m starting to boil – going out of my head

I remember the words my daddy said

(Chorus:)

Don’t get mad – get even. It’s the only game in town

Don’t get mad – get even. Can’t keep a good man

Keep a good man down

Down to the ground

When a lady tries to teach a lesson

Trying hard to make you look a fool

Shucking ‘n’ jiving an’ messing

Try and remember – remember this rule

If you’re getting tired – you’re starting to choke

(Chorus:)

Don’t get mad – get even. It’s the only game in town

Don’t get mad – get even. Can’t keep a good man

Keep a good man down

Can’t keep him down

Don’t play fair - play dirty

Where there’s a will there’s a way

Don’t give in – don’t show mercy

Every dog – every dog – every dog must have its day

Don’t get mad – get even – don’t get mad – get even (x2)

Get mad – get mad………
