Put a lid on it - What's that you say?
Put a lid on it - Oh man, no way
Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right.

Put a lid on it - Don't hand me that
Put a lid on it - I'm all right, Jack
Put a lid down on it, before somebody starts a fight.

Say, every time I turn it loose
You cats come down and cook my goose
When I start I just can't stop
But if you keep this up you're gonna blow your top!

Put a lid on it - Too late this time
Put a lid on it - I've got to get what's mine
Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right.

Well, grab your drink and clear a space
I think it's time to torch this place
Now the girl's in overdrive
But some of your pals want to stay alive!

I'll put a lid on it
I'll put a lid down on it
Save it for another night
