Lyrics:
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
