He was a mean individual

He had a heart like a bone

He was a naturally crazy man

And better off left alone

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

Come running out of 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

Gonna divvy up the reward

Then 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

They wondered where to begin

'Cause he left that neighborhood

Just like a rattlesnake sheds its skin

Then they searched the roofs

And they checked out the groups

And they photographed the scene

Of the mean individual

Stranded in a limousine
