"Stranded In A Limousine" lyrics

"Stranded In A Limousine"
(from "One-Trick Pony" soundtrack)

He was a mean individual
He had a heart like a bone
He was a naturally 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
All the children in the street
They come running out their front door
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
They're gonna divvy up the reward
And then a wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
A siren and 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
Well they searched the roofs and they checked out the booths
And they 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
And then a wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah
A siren and 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
