He was a mean individual He had a heart like a bone He was a naturally crazy man And better off left alone Well he stopped one night At a traffic light And when that light turned green He was a mean individual Stranded in a limousine Hey 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 limousine Then 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 Hey hey hey hey They wondered where to begin 'Cause he left that neighborhood Just like the rattlesnake sheds its skin Well they searched the roofs And they checked out the groups And they photographed the scene For the mean individual Stranded in a limousine Then 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!
