Stranded in a Limousine Songtext

von Paul Simon

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 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, they're gonna divvy up the reward.
And then a wah wah wah wah wah wah wah with 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.
Well, they searched the roofs and they checked the groups
And the 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 with 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, he vanished in the black of night.
