Lyrics[]
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rolling wherever I see
Huh, despicable me
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Huh, despicable me
Why ask why, better yet why not?
Why are you marking X on that spot?
Why use a blowtorch, isn't that hot?
Why use a chainsaw, is that all you got?
Why do you like seeing people in shock?
But my question to you is why not?
Why go to the baker and stand in line?
Just use a freeze gun, it saves me time
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rolling wherever I see
Huh, despicable me
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Huh, despicable me
Why ask why when this is art?
Why parallel when I could just park?
Why does Vector think that he's smart?
And does his dad know that I know his part?
Why did I have to live with my mom?
Why do you think that I should be calm?
Why I want the moon, the world in my palm?
Is it crazy you think I've gone?
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rollin' wherever I see
Huh, despicable me
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Huh, despicable me
Excuse me if you will
You look like you have time to kill
Can you chill?
Cause Gru’s got the speakers and the trunk to make you
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
To make you bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rolling wherever I see
Huh, despicable me
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Huh, despicable me
Despicable
Despicable
Despicable me
Despicable me
Despicable me
Despicable me
Despicable me
Despicable me
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
It's about time that I get my way
Steam rolling wherever I see
Huh, despicable me
I'm havin' a bad, bad day
If you take it personal that's okay
Watch, this is so fun to see
Huh, despicable me
