       D                                                    G
    Nasty Dan was the meanest man I ever knew,
              A                                                                 D
    he'd stomp and scream and be real mean the whole day through,
                                                                                       G
    he'd frown a bunch, he ate nails for lunch and he'd never laugh,
                A                                                        A7                D
    he'd growl and yell and I heard tell that he never took a bath.
                 G                         D                           A                         D
    Nasty Dan was a nasty man, hard to understand that Nasty Dan.

               D                                                    G
   Now, Nasty Dan was a nasty man the whole day long,
           A                                                                      D
   he'd go where he could and he'd try real good to make things go wrong.
                                                                     G
    He'd jump for joy when a little boy would trip and fall,
                   A                                                         A7                    D
    and the only words that he ever said were, I don't like you at all.
                 G                         D                           A                         D
    Nasty Dan was a nasty man, hard to understand that Nasty Dan.

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.

                D                                                        G
    Now, Nasty Pearl was a nasty girl that met Dan somehow,
                    A                                                           D
    she said you like me rotten as can be, let's get married now.
                                                                                          G
    So they went and they did and had a nasty kid and I must confess,
             A
    that Dan

pretty much leaves everyone alone now ,
and he doesn't bother anybody anymore
cause he just lives  in his nasty ol' house with his nasty ol' wife
                                           A7               D
    and his nasty ol' kid in nasty happiness.
                 G                         D                            A                        D
    Nasty Dan hes a nasty man, hard to understand that Nasty Dan.
