Lyrics

[Intro, spoken: Johnny Cash & Oscar the Grouch] Who goes there? You'll like this [Verse 1: Johnny Cash & Oscar the Grouch] Old Nasty Dan was the meanest man I ever knew He'd stomp and scream and be real mean the whole day through Yeah? He'd frown a bunch, he ate nails for lunch and he'd never laugh Wow. I'd like him! He'd growl and yell and I heard tell he never took a bath [Chorus 1: Johnny Cash & Oscar the Grouch] (Wow.) Nasty Dan (Nasty Dan?) Was a nasty man (Yeah?) Hard to understand that Nasty Dan Hmm [Verse 2: Johnny Cash & Oscar the Grouch] Now Nasty Dan was a nasty man the whole day long He'd go where he could and he'd try real good to makе things go wrong Oh, yeah, yeah He'd jump for joy whеn a little boy would trip and fall Really mean And the only words that he ever said were "I don't like you at all" [Chorus 1: Johnny Cash & Oscar the Grouch] (Yeah, right on!) Nasty Dan (Yeah.) Was a nasty man (Hee.) Hard to understand that Nasty Dan Now here's the best part, it's about a girl Named Nasty Pearl Oh, she sounds okay, too! [Verse 3: Johnny Cash & Oscar the Grouch] Nasty Pearl was a nasty girl who met Dan Somehow She said, "You're like me, rotten as can be, let's get Married now?" So they went and they did and had a nasty kid and I must confess That Dan pretty much leaves everybody alone now And he doesn't bother anybody anymore 'Cause he just lives in his nasty old house, with his nasty old wife (Yeah?) And his nasty kid (Yeah?) In nasty happiness [Chorus 2: Johnny Cash & Oscar the Grouch] (Far out!) Nasty Dan He's a happy man (Yeah) Hard to understand that Nasty Dan [Outro, spoken: Johnny Cash & Oscar the Grouch] Wow, that was really great. (You like that?) And say, aren't you Johnny Trash? (Cash.) Cash, Cash, huh. (Have a rotten day.) Yeah, wow, there goes my kind of guy, yee, hee
