Messin' with the Kid - Earl Hooker

What’s this a-here goin' all around town

The people they say

they’re gonna put the kid down

Well hold on, oh look at what you did

You can call it what you want to,

But I call it messin' with the kid

And anything you want, don’cha just see?

They put the kid by the time he get paid

Well oh no, oh look at what you did

You can call it what you want to,

But I call it messin' with the kid

You spend my money like it come as a gift

I work for my money before the 8 hour shift?

Well oh no, oh look at what you did

You can call it what you want to,

But I call it messin' with the kid

You know the kid’s no child, no, he don’t play

He says what he means and he mean what he say

Oh yeah, oh look at what you did

You can call it what you want to,

But I call it messin' with the kid

We’re gonna take the kid’s car

and drive around town

And tell everybody you’re not puttin' him down

Oh Lord, oh look at what you did

You can call it what you want to,

But I call it messin' with the kid!
