Curtis Mayfield - Short Eyes lyrics

Stranger man took my only daughter Round the candy shop, soda pop All for just a quarter Rememberin' the loving way she wore her hair Her sunrise eyes, her petite size Just want to warn you children some Short Eyes is pusher number one Girls, when you shake your shaggy, shaggy Beware dudes when you hang out in the alley. Beware dirty, dirty, dirty Short Eyes Any kind of people so disguised Brother man will see them penalized Sad, sick ain't no way for bail Kinda feel like sending him to hell Handsome man becomes an ugly freak Freak freak freak freak freak Out just long enough for nasty treats Living corpse wedged up in the tombs Has to face the judgment in the room Beware dirty, dirty dirty Short Eyes Any kind of people so disguised Brother man will see them penalized Freak freak freak freak freak Freak freak freak Beware dirty dirty dirty Short Eyes Any kind of people so disguised Brother man will see them penalized
