Enter Mailman
By Muttallica · Thrash Metal
"Enter Mailman" became Muttallica's biggest hit after an unfortunate incident in which James Herbfield allegedly chased the same postal worker every Tuesday for eleven consecutive years. Fans insist the mailman actually started the feud by delivering a cat-food catalog.
The official Muttallica philosophy afterward became:
"Neither snow nor rain nor treats shall keep us from barking."
MUTTALLICA: Enter Mailman 🐶🤘📬
[Intro: sound of ups truck starting.]
[Verse 1]
Wake up now, little pup
Don't you dare get up
Unless you hear the sound
Of wheels upon the ground
Keep your ears pinned back
Watch for every attack
'Til the mailman, he comes...
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Paws digging in tight!
Hear the truck!
See the bag!
Bare your teeth!
Chase him off your territory!
(Chorus)
Enter Mailman!!!
Exit torn Pants!!!
Bite his legs!
And he's gone to never come back land,
yeeeaaah!
Bark! Bark! Bark!
[Verse 2]
Something's wrong, check the door
Steps are skidding on the floor
And they aren't of squirrels
Dreams of cats, dreams of mailmen
Dreams of trucks, dreams of boogeyman
And of things that will bite, yeah!
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Paws digging in tight!
[Chorus]
Enter Mailman!!!
Exit torn Pants!!!
Bite his legs!
And he's gone to never come back land,
yeeeaaah!
[Bridge]
Now I lay me down to nap (Now I lay me down to nap)
Pray the human is vigilant (Pray the human is vigilant)
If I bark before I wake (If I bark before I wake)
Pray the human gives a treat for my sake
(Pray the human gives a treat for my sake!)
Hush, little puppy, don't say a word
And never mind that engine you heard
It's just the threat at the front gate
Run to the mailbox, that is your fate!
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Enter Mailman!!!
Exit torn Pants!!!
Bite his legs!
And he's gone to never come back land,
yeeeaaah!
[Spoken]
BOOOO!
Yeah-yeah!
The mailman is coming!
[Final Chorus]
He's gone to never come back land!
Bite his legs!
He's gone to never come back land!
Bite his legs!
He's gone to never come back land!
He's gone to never come back land!
He's gone to never come back land!
He's gone to never come back land!
Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!
