When it blows its stacks
He ain't nowhere t' be found
When ah wolf's claws wear way down
Better watch out there's ah man eater around
Hide all the women in town
When it blows its stacks
All you girls make no mistake
He's as cold as ah snake sleepin' in the shade
He takes um out
Out on an iceberg
Hand 'em ah Ronson 'n says
I'll see you around
When he straighten up
They all bend down
He don't bow t' bad water
He don't pussy foot around
When it blows its stacks
He ain't nowhere t'be found
