Intro:
(x2)
Verse 1:
He’s a man, with a plan,
Got a counterfeit dollar,
In his hand;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Playin’ hard, talkin’ fast,
Makin’ sure that he won’t,
Be the last;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Makes a deal, with a smile,
Knowin’ all the time,
That his lie’s a mile;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Must be seen, there’s no doubt,
There’s no doubt,
He’s the coolest one,
With the biggest mouth;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Chorus 1:
If you tell him he’s [G/B]livin’ fast,
He will say what do you know.
If you had my [D/F#]kind of cash,
You’d have more than,
One place to go oh,
Ooh…ooh, Ooh ooh…ooh.
Verse 2:
Any place; he will play,
His only concern,
Is how much you’ll pay;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
If he shakes, on a bet,
He’s the kind of dude,
That won’t pay his debt;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Chorus 2:
When you say that,
He’s [G/B]livin’ wrong;
He’ll tell you he,
Knows he’s livin’ right.
And you’d be, a stronger [D/F#]man,
If you took Misstra,
Know-lt-All’s advice, oh oh.
Ooh…ooh, ooh ooh…ooh….
Verse 3:
He’s a man, with a plan,
Got a counterfeit dollar,
In his hand;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Take my word, please be-ware,
Of a man that just,
Don’t give a care, no;
No;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
(Look out he’s coming);
Interlude:
(n.C) G
Dum bum bum ba bum bum,
Dum bum bum ba bum bum,
Bum bum bum bum bum, say;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Coda:
Can this line, take his hand,
Take your hat off to,
The man who’s got the plan;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Every boy take your hand,
To the man that’s got the plan;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Give a hand, to the man,
That you know he’s got the plan;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Give a hand, to the man,
Don’t you know darn well,
He’s got the super plan;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Give a hand, to the man,
Don’t you know darn well,
He’s got the super plan;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
If we had, less of him,
Don’t you know we’d,
Have a better land?
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Give a hand, to the man,
Don’t you know darn well,
He’s got the super plan;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
So give a hand to the man,
Although you’ve given out,
As much as you can;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Give a hand, to the man,
Don’t you know darn well,
He’s got the super plan;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Check his sound out,
He’ll tell it all,
You talk too much,
You worry me to death;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
Give a hand, to the man,
Don’t you know darn well,
He’s got the super plan;
He’s Misstra Know-It-All.
