Big Mouth lyrics

I was minding my own business 

in the high school gym

when the new vice principal called me in.

I demanded to know what this was all about.

He said, "Nothing's really wrong 

'cept you got a big mouth."

(Big mouth)

Well, he put me on detention 

for a month and a half.

When I started to complain, 

he started to laugh.

I said, "You call my parents,

they'll straighten you out."

He said, "I already did,

they know you got a big mouth."

(Big mouth)

(Big mouth)

So then my gang deserts me 

when it's time to fight

and my girlfriend tells me 

it serves me right.

The shrink, he'll kill me 

if I lie on his couch.

You know there ain't no mercy 

when you got a big mouth.

(Big mouth)

Even as a baby, I cried too much.

When they took me to church, 

I still wouldn't hush.

(Shh!)

And the preacher man told me 

I couldn't be saved

because the devil's gonna send me 

to an early grave.

Well, I got to thinkin' 

that revenge is sweet,

so I called up the drummer 

with the heaviest beat.

(Bang!)

(Play!)

'Cause there's one profession 

where you got to be loud

and the highest praise is 

"You got a big mouth."

Now my principal calls me 

and I have to laugh

'cause he wants free tickets 

and my autograph.

When I make my next million, 

I'll be heading south

and maybe you can join me if you got a 

(big mouth).

(Big mouth)

(Big mouth)

(Big mouth)
