Mad Bomber Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You might have heard of the tragedy
That took place in New York City
You might have heard of the tragedy
That took place in New York City
Everybody was in a fright
They couldn't rest in peace whether day or night
Time bombs were set from place to place
You should be there to see cold sweat in people face

[Chorus]
Look here, look there, look everywhere
Buy the papers and gеt the talk
This crazy mad man really ain't care
Putting bombs all ovеr New York
So the FBI try every trick in the book
Walking with machine gun
When they hold the guy
And they thought was a crook
Was a madman having some fun

[Verse 2]
I can remember how me neighbor Jack
Taken with a heart attack
He walk into a telephone booth
A time bomb was at his foot
He ran home to tell his wife Inez
But he found his wife was in tears
When she explain to him he near drop dead
She just find a time bomb below she bed

[Chorus]
So look here, look there, look everywhere
Buy the papers and get the talk
This crazy mad man really ain't care
Putting bombs all over New York
So the FBI try every trick in the book
Walking with machine gun
When they caught the guy
And they thought was a crook
Was a madman having some fun

[Verse 3]
From zone to zone, Mama, street to street
People 'fraid to go home and sleep
Thinking before they could get up to go to work
The town may go up in smoke
Even in the Central Railway Station
People going to an excursion
Had to leave the train and run for the street
They get away by the skin of they teeth

[Chorus]
So look here, look there, look everywhere
Buy the papers and get the talk
This crazy mad man really ain't care
Putting bombs all over New York
The FBI try every trick in the book
They walking with machine gun
When they snatch the guy
And they thought was a crook
Was a madman having some fun
