這首歌是Michael Jackson在勸好逞強鬥狠的朋友
別惹是生非的歌。
曲中Michael苦口婆心，分析雙方實力，要朋友閃人（Beat it）
但是朋友似乎毫不為所動，一心只想當個耍狠（be bad）。 

They told him don't you ever come around here 
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear 
The fire's in their eyes and  their words are really clear 
So beat it, just beat it 

You better run, you better do what you can 
Don't wanna see no blood,  
Don't be a macho man 
You wanna be tough, better do what you can 
So beat it, but you wanna be bad 

*Just beat it, beat it,  beat it, beat it, 
No one wants to be defeated,  
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
每個人都要展現他們多會打架，他們的招式有多麼奇特，沒有人想被擊敗 。
(funky 時髦、特異)
It doesn't matter who's  wrong or right 
Just beat it, beat it 
Just beat it, beat it 
Just beat it, beat it 
Just beat it, beat it 

They're out to get you,  better leave while you can 
Don't wanna be a boy,  you wanna be a man 
You wanna stay alive,  better do what you can 
So beat it, just beat it 

You have to show them that  you're really not scared 
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare真實或挑戰
（一種強迫說實話或是做一些平時不敢做的事的遊戲） 
They'll kill you, then they beat you 
Then they'll tell you it's fair 
So beat it,  but you wanna be bad 

(Repeat*) 


第二首歌是'Weird Al' Yankovic嘲諷Michael Jackson的"Beat It"所作的歌曲。
Yankovich將原本是關於黑道幫派惡鬥的情景改寫為父母親對於不吃飯的小孩的教訓，
歌詞的口吻是父母親對小孩半威脅的口吻。

How come you're always such a fussy愛鬧的 young man 
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran 
Well don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan 
So eat it, just eat it 
Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate 
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate 
You won't get no desert till you clean off your plate 

So eat it 
Don't tell me you're full  
Just eat it, eat it 
Get yourself an egg and beat it拿個蛋來打蛋花 
Have some more chicken, have some more pie 
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried 
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it 
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it 
Your table manners are a crying shame 
Your playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game 
Now if you starve to death you'll just have yourself to blame 

So eat it, just eat it 
You better listen, better do what you're told 
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole焗鮪魚(casserole 是烤鍋） 
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold 
So eat it 
I don't care if you're full 
Just eat it, eat it 
Open up your mouth and feed it 
Have some more yogurt, have some more Spam罐頭肉（原是罐頭的著名商標）
 
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned 
Just eat it, eat it 

Don't you make me repeat it 
Have a banana, have a whole bunch 
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch 
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it 
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it 
Just eat it, eat it 
If it's getting cold reheat it 
Have a big dinner, have a light snack 
If you don't like it,you can't send it back 
Just eat it, eat it 

Get yourself an egg and beat it 
Have some more chicken, have some more pie 
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried 
Just eat it, eat it 
Don't you make me repeat it
