Better to be ready if you rattle my cage, 
Oh I should loosen up some, baby I know.
But I get angrier with age, 
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage.

Oh you look disappointed in me, 
Oh am I not as thoughtful as you thought I'd be?
Yeah I know I'm always giving you the third degree, 
But you look disappointed in me.

Now I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.
I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.

We'll rate, generate, generate some more, 
So what you singing about summer for?
Forgive me if I'm onto one, 
And I'll afford it but I suspect, 
That retrospect to your perception, 
You're looking in the wrong direction.
As I'm sure that you'll conclude, 
I'm in a pretty awful mood.

Better to be ready if you rattle my cage, 
And I know I'm always putting it on you.
But I get angrier with age, 
Better to be ready if you rattle my cage.

Now I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.
I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood.

I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood
