Swing my cutlass at the tall grass   And anything that gets in my way   That's my job here, let's be quite clear   Working is how I spend my day   Scary? verrry I can instill some fear   Owners don't know this is my show   I've seen them all disappear      Chorus   Who's the boss man?    Surely ain't dat paperman   I'm the only boss around   Who's the boss man?    Surely ain't dat white man   I'm de only boss in town      Creole   Qui moun' qui, patron la c' pa blanc la ce moin'   Qui moun' qui, patron la c' pa blanc la ce moin'      Chorus   Who's the boss man?    Surely ain't dat paperman   He be an annoying little gnat   Who's the boss man?    Surely ain't dat white man   Dis is hippolyte's habitat      Creole   Qui moun' qui, patron la c' pa blanc la ce moin'   Qui moun' qui, patron la c' pa blanc la ce moin'      Now you've met me, don't forget me   Hippolyte the french handyman   But my work waits, please the ingrates   They're all a part of my plan      Chorus   Who's the boss man?    Surely ain't dat paperman   He be an annoying little gnat   Who's the boss man?    Surely ain't dat white man   Dis is hippolyte's habitat      Creole   Qui moun' qui, patron la c' pa blanc la ce moin'   Qui moun' qui, patron la c' pa blanc la ce moin'      There's a place in france where they do the cutlass dance
