lyrics

Mama told me I was slick,
Said she’d catch me very quick,
Papa left me home alone,
And I soon turned off the phone,
Look out, turn around,
Watch yourself, I’m coming down,
I’m the Mastermind…I’m the Mastermind!

I am always on the run,
Get my kicks and have my fun,
Mama told me “Do no wrong,”
Didn’t last for very long,
Look out, turn around,
Watch yourself, I’m coming down,
I’m the Mastermind…I’m the Mastermind!

I won’t be the one to take the blame,
I’m the Mastermind and I play my games!

(guitar solo)

Look out, turn around,
Watch yourself, I’m coming down,
I’m the Mastermind…I’m the Mastermind!

I won’t be the one to take the blame,
I’m the Mastermind and I play my games!

(keyboard solo)

Mama told me I was slick,
Said she’d catch me very quick,
Papa left me home alone,
And I soon turned off the phone,
Look out, turn around,
Watch yourself, I’m coming down,
I’m the Mastermind…I’m the Mastermind!

Look out!
Look out!
Yeah, look out!
