Naked Man - 2002 Remaster

Lyrics

Old lady lost in the city
 In the middle of a cold, cold night
 It was fourteen below and the wind start to blow
 There wasn't a boy scout in sight
 Pull down the shades cause he's comin'
 Turn out the lights cause he's here
 Runnin' hard 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 Street
 Shufflin' uptown against the wind
 She had started to cry-wiped a tear from her eye
 And 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
 Starin' down at the ground on which she stand
 She look up and scream
 For the lamplight's beam
 There stood the famous Naked Man
 He say, "They found out about my sister
 And 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."
 He faked to the left and he faked to the right
 And he snatched the purse fromere hand
 "Someone stop me," he cried,
 As he faded from sight,
 "Won't nobody help a naked man?"
 "Won't nobody help a naked man?"
 Beware, beware, beware of the Naked Man
