Sometime after sunset he is on his hands and knees
He is searching for his keys
At a small Vietnamese
Place on East 11th Street
His daughters both at once say, Can we just get going please?
As his wife begins to sneeze
And his son is throwing peas

There goes the action hero
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero
Oh-h-h-h-ho hero
He's racing against time
