Naked Man Lyrics

Artist: Randy Newman
Album: Good Old Boys

Old lady lost in the city
In the middle of a cold cold night
It was fourteen below and the wind start to blow
There wasn't a boy scout in sight
Pull down the shades cause he's comin'
Turn out the lights cause he's here
Runnin' hard down the street
Through the snow and the sleet
On the coldest night of the year

CHORUS
Beware beware beware of the Naked Man

Old lady head up toward Broad Street
Shufflin' uptown against the wind
She had started to cry-wiped a tear from her eye
And 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

CHORUS

Old lady lean against a lamppost
Starin' down at the ground on which she stand
She look up and scream
For the lamplight's beam
There stood the famous Naked Man

He say, "They found out about my sister
And kicked me out of the Navy,
They would have strung me up if they could.
I tried to explain that we were both of us lazy
And were doing the best we could."

He faked to the left and he faked to the right
And he snatched the purse fromere hand
"Someone stop me," he cried,
As he faded from sight,
"Won't nobody help a naked man?"
"Won't nobody help a naked man?"

CHORUS

what year did randy newman write this song? i am sure that it is from very recent but, it has that
"1967-1968" sound. i must say that this is a good song to enjoy.

for david rolfes--this song was on the 1974 randy newman album "Good Old Boys"--contributing artists on this album included glenn frey & don henley--it's been remastered & can be found on a remastered reissue 2 cd set which includes "Good Old Boys" & a previously unreleased cd titled "Johnny Cutlers Birthday"--the "Naked Man" song was also used on an episode of the tv show "Monk"--hope this helps-I really like Randy Newman!
