Old lady lost in the city in the middle of a cold, cold night
|
It was fourteen below
|
And the wind starts to blow
|
There wasn't a boy scout in sight
|
Pull down the shades cause he's coming, turn out the lights cause he's here
|
Running down the street
|
Through the snow and the sleet
|
On the coldest night of the year
|
|
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
|
|
Old lady head up toward broad stree, shuffling uptown against the wind
|
She'd started to cry,
|
Wiped a tear
|
From her eye
|
Looked back to see where she had been
|
|
Old lady stand on the corner with a purse in her hand
|
She does not know
|
But in a minute or so
|
She will be robbed by a naked man
|
|
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
|
|
Old lady lean against a lamppost, staring down at the ground on which she stand
|
She look up and screamed
|
In the lamplight's beam
|
There stood the famous naked man
|
|
He say, they found out about my sister, they kicked me out of the navy,
|
They would have strung me up if they could.
|
I tried to explain that we were both of us lazy
|
And were doing the best we could.
|
|
Well he faked to the left and he faked to the right
|
And the purse was snatched from her hand
|
Someone stop me, he cried,
|
As he faded from sight,
|
Won't nobody help a naked man? Oh Lord
|
Won't nobody help a naked man?
|
|
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
|
