Well I was born an original sinner, I was born 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 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 backing him 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 following me He said stop what you're doing, get down on your knees I've got a message for you that you better believe Oh! Well I was born an original sinner I was born 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 a missionary man A missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man Don't mess with a missionary man
