He was a mean individual
He had a heart like a bone
He was a naturally crazy man
And better off left aloneWell he stopped one night
At a traffic light
And when that light turned green
He was a mean individual
Stranded in a limousineHey hey hey hey
All the children on the street
They come running out their front doors
Running out their back doors
Flying on their feet
They said mama, oh! Papa, oh!
See what I have seen
There's a mean individual stranded in a limousineThen everybody came running
Everybody said Lord, Lord!
Everybody was gunning
They're gonna divvy up the reward
And then a wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
A siren, a flashing light
But the mean individual
Had vanished in the black of nightHey hey hey hey
They wondered where to begin
'Cause he left that neighborhood
Just like the rattlesnake sheds its skinWell they searched the roofs
And they checked out the groups
And they photographed the scene
For the mean individual
Stranded in a limousineThen everybody came running
Everybody said Lord, Lord!
Everybody was gunning
They're gonna divvy up the reward
And then a wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
A siren, a flashing light
But the mean individual
Had vanished in the black of night
The mean individual had vanished in the black of night
The mean individual had vanished in the black of night!
