Old lady lost in the city in the middle of a cold, cold night It was fourteen below And the wind starts to blow There wasn't a boy scout in sight Pull down the shades cause he's coming, turn out the lights cause he's here Running down the street Through the snow and the sleet On the coldest night of the year
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
Old lady head up toward broad stree, shuffling uptown against the wind She'd started to cry, Wiped a tear From her eye Looked back to see where she had been
Old lady stand on the corner with a purse in her hand She does not know But in a minute or so She will be robbed by a naked man
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
Old lady lean against a lamppost, staring down at the ground on which she stand She look up and screamed In the lamplight's beam There stood the famous naked man
