[Verse 1]
You'd better run, you'd better hide
You'd better lock your house and keep the kids inside
Here come the 20th century's latest scam
He's a half a boy and half a man
[Verse 2]
He ain't a fool, but he's a tool
Because his left don't know what his right hand's doin'
He'd keep a King Kong eating out the palm of his hand
He's a half a boy and half a man
[Verse 3]
Best be fleet, upon your feet
Else the S.P.G.'s gonna be clearin' the streets
They never made no provision in the original plan for
Half a boy and half a man
[Chorus]
When his fingers do the walking
In the middle of the night
Well, when his people stalk in
Baby, let me tell you
Nothing come out right
[Verse 3, repeated]
Best be fleet, upon your feet
Else the S.P.G.'s gonna be clearin' the streets
They never made no provision in the original plan for
Half a boy and half a man
[Chorus]
Oh, when his fingers do the walking
In the middle of the night
Well, when his people stalk in
Baby, let me tell you
Nothing come out right
[Verse 1, repeated]
You'd better run, you'd better hide
You'd better lock your house and keep the kids inside
Here come the 20th century's latest scam
He's a half a boy and half a man
[Outro]
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!
