I had a girl and her name was Elise
Every time I'd hit her she would holler police
She cooked them biscuits, she cooked them brown
Started workin' when I turned around
When you catch another mule kicking in your stall
Go and tear it down

Keep tearin' it down (bed slats and all)
Keep tearin' it down (bed slats and all)
Keep tearin' it down (bed slats and all)
Keep tearin' it down (bed slats and all)
When you catch another mule kicking in your stall
Go and tear it down

Mr. Evan, Mr. Evan oh ain't it a shame
To see that monkey whiffin' that cocaine
Went upstairs to ring the bell
Police in the alley giving cocaine
When you catch another mule kicking in your stall
Go and tear it down

Oh mah doodle amah doodle amah doodle amah doodle amah
Doodle amah doodle amah doodle amah doodle amah
Doodle amah doodle amah doodle amah doodle amah
Doddle amah doodle amah ...
When you catch another mule kicking in your stall
Go and tear it down
