Lyrics Stranded in a Limosine - 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 on 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
I think 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 they searched the roofs
And they checked out the groups
And they photographed the scene
For 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
I think 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
