lyrics

You Picked a Fight
(With the Wrong Mennonite)
words and music by Dr Bruce L. Thiessen, aka Dr BLT © 2023

pulled up to The Edge on Main Street
in the town where I was born
Steinbach, Manitoba
t’was was a spring night—/kind of warm
you were lookin’ for a horse and buggy
but I drive a muscle car
so you put on your big brass knuckles
and slipped into the bar

Chorus:
you picked a fight
with the wrong Mennonite
did you think that I was passive
no bark and no bite
well you thought you try left hook
then you took a swing to the right
yes, tonight you picked a fight
with the wrong Mennonite

you saw me sitting’ on a barstool
talkin’ to the manager
next to me you saw my lady
so you thought you’d mess with her
but you didn’t see a bonnet
Señorita‘s don’t cover their heads
so you said, “I’ll skip the lady”
and then you swung at
my Mennonite head


did you think I’d turn the other cheek
Well you, know we’ve both got four
And I’m gonna kick your bottom two
If you try to hit the door
you mistook me for a gentleman
but I ain’t one tonight
and tonight you picked a fight
with the wrong Mennonite (chorus)
