The Lyrics
Away with you, stranger,
you fill me with dread.
You look like an freak, an’
I wish you’ll have fled.
Rapid darting eyes
in one place won’t stay.
A corpus of freakdom
I sense here today.
I bid you: Be going;
now you’ve got the shakes.
I hope the police come,
away you they’ll take.
I hope you’ll stay peaceful,
but your evil eye
is making me afraid
of what you might try.
A punch spree might breach me
or even might lay
me out on the street,
where some time I might stay.
My armpits are schvitzin’;
on my back the hair
is bristlin’; I’m whistlin’—
in a wink, law’s there.
you fill me with dread.
You look like an freak, an’
I wish you’ll have fled.
Rapid darting eyes
in one place won’t stay.
A corpus of freakdom
I sense here today.
I bid you: Be going;
now you’ve got the shakes.
I hope the police come,
away you they’ll take.
I hope you’ll stay peaceful,
but your evil eye
is making me afraid
of what you might try.
A punch spree might breach me
or even might lay
me out on the street,
where some time I might stay.
My armpits are schvitzin’;
on my back the hair
is bristlin’; I’m whistlin’—
in a wink, law’s there.
