Nasty Dan - Johnny Cash

Nasty Dan was the meanest man I ever knew

He’s stomp and scream and be real mean the whole day through

He’d frown a bunch he ate nails for lunch and he’d never laugh

He’d growl and yell and I hard tell that he never took a bath

Nasty Dan was a nasty man

Hard to understand that Nasty Dan

Now Nasty Dan was a nasty man the whole day long

He’d go where he could he’d try real good to make things go wrong

He’d jump for joy when a little boy would trip and fall

And the only words that he ever said were, «I don’t like you at all!»

Now a real interesting thing that I want you to know about is this here

Because it’s the most important thing it concerns a girl and things like that

Now Nasty Pearl was a nasty girl that met Dan somehow

She said you like me rotten as can be let’s get married now

So they went and they did and had a nasty kid

And I must confess that Dan pretty much leaves everyone alone now

And he doesn’t bother anybody anymore cause he just lives in his nasty old house

With his nasty old wife and his nasty od kid in nasty happiness
