Nasty Dan was the meanest man I ever knew,
he'd 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 heard 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 and 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.”
Nasty Dan was a nasty man, hard to understand that Nasty Dan.
Now a real interesting thing that I want you to know about
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 his nasty ol' kid in nasty happiness.
Nasty Dan he’s a nasty man, hard to understand that Nasty Dan.
