lyrics

You'd better run
You'd better hide
You'd better lock your house
And leave the kids inside
Here come the twentieth century's latest scam
He's a half a boy and half a man

He ain't a fool but he's a tool
Because his left don't know what his right hand's doing
He'd keep a King Kong eating out of the palm of his hand
He's a half a boy and half a man

Best be fleet on your feet
Or else the S.P.G.'s gonna clear in the streets
They never made no provision in the original plan
For half a boy and half a man

When his fingers do the walking
In the middle of the night
When his people stalk in
Baby, let me tell you
Nothing gonna turn out right

Well, you better be fleet on your feet
Else the S.P.G.'s gonna clear in the streets
They never made no provision in the original plan
For half a boy and half a man

When his fingers do the walking
In the middle of the night
When his people stalk in
Well you better let me tell you
That nothing gonna turn out right

Well you'd better run
Better hide
You'd better lock your house
And leave the kids inside
Here come the twentieth century's latest scam
He's a half a boy and half a man
He's a half a boy and half a man
He's a half a boy and half a man
He's a half a boy and half a man

But in his current ‘second act’ as a silver-haired, tender-hearted but sharp-tongued singer-songwriter, he has no equal. ... more
