Half A Boy And Half A Man

(album: Nick Lowe And His Cowboy Outfit - 1984)

You'd better run
You'd better hide

You'd better lock you house and keep 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

Now he's a half a boy and half a man

Or else the S.P.G. 's gonna clear the streets
They never made no provision in the original plan for half a boy and half a man

Oh
When his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night
When his people stalk in
Baby
Let me tell you
Nothing comes out right
Best be fleet up on your feet...

Oh
When his fingers do the walking in the middle of the night...

You'd better run
You'd better hide...

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 come on
