Mullet Pride
KJ-52 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you got a mullet a mullet going on?
Do you got a mullet is it beautiful big and long?
well If you got a mullet there's no need to hide
cause it's plain to see just so plain to me that we just need mullet pride
Verse 1:
I saw a man a walking just the other day
he said son your hair is real short but in the back it's long
well if it is and it really is then you can sing my mullet song
(then he said to me)
Chorus
Verse 2/font:
I said sir I have a question there's a question that I must ask
why is it when I go out in public why do these people stop and laugh?
he said the answer to your question sir it's just so plain to me
now the problem is just with these kids they got mullet jealousy
(then he said to me)
Chorus
Verse 3:
the moral of the story it goes a little something like this
if you got a mullet well it's a haircut not a fish
and now when you wear your mullet just remember this little fact
see a mullet is business in the front and then a party in the back
(now everybody sing)
Chorus
La la la la la la (repeat)
