Over under in out
High low round about
You're one in a million
I'm plain and free
Let it be known;
You're the boss of me

I like it that way
We go to fancy restaurants
I want to pay
We ride upon your pony
I sit in the back
You're the boss of me
I like it like that

You're the boss of me
I like the way you dress
I'm standing at attention
I'm ready for your test
Make the questions real hard
If I pass we'll play
You're the boss of me
I like it that way

Some guys like to be in charge
To push everyone around
They love listening to themselves
There voice is their favorite sound
Me I am an engine
Just rumbling low and slow
But don't kid yourself if you step on the gas
We're gonna get up and go

You're the boss of me
I'd like to touch your skin
But I'd never do it
Without your permission
Big, big bear
Itty bitty kitty cat
You're the boss of me
I like it like that

When your way is wet
My coat's your mat
If you need to be alone
Let me know I'll scat
If you don't like 'um
To me they're a dirty rat
I like to apologize
At the end of a spat
You're the boss of me
I like it like that
