Well I was born an original sinner I was borne from original sin And if I had a dollar bill For all the things I've done 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 on 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 got a message for you that you better believe" Well I was born an original sinner I was borne from original sin And if I had a dollar bill For all the things I've done There'd be a mountain of money Don't mess with the missionary man The missionary man The missionary man A missionary man Don't mess with the missionary man (x4)
