about

This is a song along the lines of "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." It's about being the underdog with nothing to lose, David facing up to Goliath, a flea with a fuck you attitude. M.C. really gets his teeth into it and, like a true pro, nailed it in a single take.

Trivia: I have seriously considered renaming the song "Junkyard Dawg" after MCs wonderful western pronunciation, and it may yet happen. MC Hansen is Danish, but actually tours extensively in the USA and Canada with his own music, so I consider this take on the phonetics of the lyric highly authentic, compared to my own English roots. Well, this may yet happen.

lyrics

You'd better do right by me
I don't forgive just anything
Tread on my toe you ought to know
I'm gonna be a junkyard dog about it

You better not yank my chain
I'll never pussyfoot around
Break my balls
I ain't your fool
I'm gon-na be a junkyard dog, watch out!

I'll be the ni-cest guy in the wes-tern world
if you tread real soft on my street
Never said boo to a goose or moo to a moose
But I'll be bar-king mad if you diss me

You bet-ter say pret-ty please
I'm not your door-mat in the hall
com-mit a sin like bar-ging in
I'm gon-na be a junk-yard dog, watch out

No, I won't let go
I got my teeth sunk in too deep
So tired of me you'll leave me be
I'm gon-na be a junkyard dog, watch out
