I was strollin' down the sidewalk with my girl by my side When a great big hunk a fella' came and pushed me aside I said "hey Bud I spose you think it's some kind of joke" The next thing I remember he was jumpin' on my throat With my last few breaths I said, "hey, Bud can't you see" "That you started bringin' out the yella in me" Now this fella rose above me and he started to grin So I used what little strength I had and stuck one on his chin He tore off the arm that did it and he threw it aside And for a while I lost the sight in both of my eyes I didn't have to say a word my girlfriend could see That this fella started bringing out the yella in me Now, I had to show this fella that I couldn't be beat So I tried to make a stand there while I still had my feet I think I made the wrong move and his patience wore thin Cause it took three surgeons day and night to graft back my skin About this time I was shoutin' from the top of the tree That this fella started bringin' out the yella in me My advice to you my friend is that if you ever see A fella walkin' down the street and he's six foot three Be sure to try and pa** him walk on down the other side Cause if you don't he'll leave you in a state of suicide I just didn't listen look what happened to me Now this fella's finished bringin' out the Yella in me
