I'm comin' to ruin your day
I'm a bad ol' ugly meter maid
Just go and ask my man Jerome
He says I'm mean workin' but I'm meaner at home

Here comes a man without no change
Well I'll wait right here 'till he's out of range
Before he comes back to pay
Well I'll give him a ticket an' I'll tow him away

Gimme your money, let's cut a deal
Or I'll stick my boot on your left front wheel
Caught my man runnin' round like a mutt
You know he needs a boot on his you know what

I know your name
Got your number
You treat me nice
Or pay the price

My man's workin hard all day
Put your money in the meter if you wanna' stay
Put food on the table and bring home the bread
If you wanna park it in my bed

If you wanna ruin your life
Take a bad ol' meter maid for your wife
Just go and ask my man Jerome
He says I'm mean workin' but I'm meaner at home
