[Intro] (Bang! Bang! Bang!) There's a knock at the back door (Pay! Pay! Pay!) Like an amateur actor [Verse 1] It's that man With his face on the poster He won the deed (He's a boaster) What can you say? He's been knocking all day I think he's got the mind to stay [Pre-Chorus] (Oh) Mr. O doesn't beg your pardon And Mr. O doesn't like to bargain Been sitting in his office nine to five And suddenly he's come alive [Chorus] He go "Oh! You've got to go! Jack, hit the road! For don't you know (Oh oh oh you owe Mr. O?) I'm gonna make it plain (Make it plain) You're gonna take that train..." (You're gonna take that, take that train) [Bridge 1] The family, the reverend, the foreign leader Owe Mr. O The senator, the mannequin, and the maiden meter Owe Mr. O Yeah, the manager, the old lady down the road And everybody that you know Oh, they owe Mr. O [Verse 2] Well, I wonder who that is? (Open up!) He's as mad as a hat is! He's a fool with a plan like a card house (likes to rule) Pulling cards out Sell him a clue so he'll know what to do Or else you're gonna get the screw (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus] Mr. O doesn't need your savings And Mr. O doesn't like your babies Been waiting for an opportunity To put everybody on the street [Chorus] So go whoa! You've got to go You're bought and sold And don't ya know (Oh oh oh you owe Mr. O oh) No more society (No more society) Or notoriety (Or notoriety) [Bridge 2] Oh, the butler and the baker and the new age tailor Owe Mr. O The pioneer, the coroner, the dancing sailor Owe Mr. O Yeah, the vagabond, the president, the pope And everybody that you know Yeah, they owe Mr. O [Verse 3] Mr. O, where are you going? It seems your ship is overflowing With all that you own, still you're living alone I think it's time you found yourself a home [spoken] Mr. O doesn't want your love. He wants your [Outro]
