He was a mean individual
He had a heart like a stone
Oh, he was a natural 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, hey
All the children on the street
Ah, they was running out of the front door
Running out their back door, flying on their feet
Singing Papa oh-oh, Mama oh
Come see what we have seen
There's a mean individual
Stranded in a limousine

Everybody came running
Everybody said Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Everybody was gunning
They're gonna divvy up the reward
Then wah wah wah wah wah
There came a siren and a flashing light
But the mean individual
Had vanished in the black of night

Hey, hey, hey, hey,hey
They wondered where to begin
Because he left that neighborhood
Like a rattlesnake sheding his skin
Well they searched the roofs
And checked out the groups
And then they photographed the scene
Of the mean individual
Stranded in a limousine

Everybody came running
Everybody said Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Everybody was gunning
They're gonna divvy up the reward
Then wah wah wah wah wah
There came a siren and a flashing light
But the mean individual
Had vanished to the black of night
But the mean individual
Had vanished to the black of night
Ah, the mean individual
Had vanished in the black of night
