He’s Misstra Know-It-All Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's a man with a plan
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Playing hard, talking fast
Making sure that he won't be the last
He's Misstra Know-It-All

[Verse 2]
Makes a deal with a smile
Knowing all the time that his lie's a mile
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Must be seen, there's no doubt
He's the coolest one with the biggest mouth
He's Misstra Know-It-All

[Bridge]
When you tell him he's living fast
He will say, "What do you know?
If you had my kind of cash
You'd have more than one place to go"
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 3]
Any place, he will play
His only concern is how much you'll pay
He's Misstra Know-It-All
If he shakes on a bet
He's the kind of dude that won't pay his debt
Oh, He's Misstra Know-It-All
[Bridge]
When you say that he's living wrong
He'll tell you he knows he's living right
And you'd be a stronger man
If you took Misstra Know-It-All's advice, oh oh
Ooh-ooh, mmm-mmm-mmm

[Verse 4]
He's the man with a plan
Got a counterfeit dollar in his hand
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Take my word, please beware
Of a man that just don't give a care, no
He's Misstra Know-It-All
(Look out, he's coming!)

[Outro]
Dum-bum-bum-ba-bum
Bum-bum-bum-ba-bum-bum
Bum-bum-bum-bum, I say
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Can his mind take the pain?
Take your hat off to the man
Who's got the plan, yeah, yeah
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Everybody tip your hat, now
To the man who's got the plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
Let you know he's got the plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All

Give a hand to the man
That you know darn well has got the super plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man that
You know damn well's got the super plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All

If we had less of him
Don't you know we'd have a better land?
He's Misstra Know-It-All, hey, hey
So give a hand to the man
Although you've given out as much as you can
He's Misstra Know-It-All

Hey, you talk too much
You worry me to death, hey
He's Misstra Know-It-All
He's some kind of fella
Thinking of only himself
He's Misstra Know-It-All
Give a hand to the man
That you know has got a super plan
He's Misstra Know-It-All
(He's Misstra Know-It-All)
(He's Misstra Know-It-All)...
