- Mean And Evil Blues Lyrics / with translationsNow I'm mean and evil, don't you mess around with me,
Yes I'm mean and evil, don't you mess around with me,
'Cause I'll mess you up with a bang, a dozen sticks of
TNT!
First thing each mornin', I breaks me a lookin' glass,
Then I goes out on the corner, waits for a black cat to
pass.
Can't sleep while there's a howlin' dog 'neath my window
each night,
And nothin' sends me like a good bloody fight!
Yes I'm mean and evil,
But you no-good men made me that way!
Yes I'm mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me,
Yes I'm so mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me,
And I'm gonna stay that way till I find a man that's
meaner than me!
Yes I'm mean and evil, don't you mess around with me,
'Cause I'll mess you up with a bang, a dozen sticks of
TNT!
First thing each mornin', I breaks me a lookin' glass,
Then I goes out on the corner, waits for a black cat to
pass.
Can't sleep while there's a howlin' dog 'neath my window
And nothin' sends me like a good bloody fight!
Yes I'm mean and evil,
But you no-good men made me that way!
Yes I'm mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me,
Yes I'm so mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me,
And I'm gonna stay that way till I find a man that's
meaner than me!

When we reflect on what the artist might have meant, Dinah Washington's 'Mean And Evil Blues' song depicts a tough, uncompromising character who uses metaphors such as breaking mirrors and waiting for black cats to cross their path to support their claim of being ruthless. Hard as nails, this character still searches for someone even meaner, which indicates a longing for approval and, eventually, a place in society that requires toughness. Mean and evil blues lyrics reflect mainly feelings of angst, anger, fury, rage, and insecurity. On the other hand, the song points to the same issue of self-identity as a matter of pride coupled with the artist's defiance and aggression. The lyrics are peppered with violence and aggression imagery, such as using TNT or fistfighting, which could scare off younger kids. Nevertheless, the intensity of the language and themes does not get to the point of tuning in for a higher rating.
