The Legend of the Toxic Avenger Lyrics

The Legend of the Toxic Avenger Text

---

Folk Singer:
Let me tell you a story about a man with a strange complexion
He killed a lot of folks and made a love connection
By day, he had a girl who baked him homemade breads
By night, he roamed the streets and ripped off people’s heads

This is the legend
He’s the legend
The legend of the Toxic Avenger

At first, the folks were sure he’d kill them all one day

Man:
He’ll kill us all!

Folk Singer:
But then, the crowd went down and the freak seemed okay

Man:
I like him now.

Folk Singer:
Last fall, his girlfriend wept, she couldn’t touch his face
Cause he’s out fighting crime and saving the human race

Yeah, this is the legend
He’s the legend
The legend of the Toxic Avenger
Yeah, yeah

He cleaned up Tromaville by clogging up the vats
He won the children’s love by saving all their cats

Kid:
I love you, Toxie!

Folk Singer:
Toxie’s a hero now, he’s bigger than superman
Let him lay some woopass on
Let him lay some woopass on
The man could really lay some woopass on
All the town’s bad

And so the cops got scared, some soiled their britches
The rest just ran away like freaked out little b**ches
Now the mayor stands alone, it’s her against the goon
She knows the time has come, it’s gonna be high noon

Oh, he’s the legend

Toxie:
I’m the legend

Both:
The legend of the Toxic Avenger

Folk Singer:
There goes the legend
Yeah, the legend
Whoa, he’s the legend
Hot damn, the legend
Gotta tell your children about the legend
Tell your children’s children
And your children’s children
And your children’s tell their friends
And then their friends will friends
Make some calls, better write some letters
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Mayor:
Shut up!

Folk Singer:
The legend of the Toxic Avenger!
