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 
They 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 wah 
There's a siren, a flashing light 
But the mean individual 
Had vanished in the black of night 

Hey, 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 then photographed the scene 
Of the mean individual 
Stranded in a limousine 

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