You better run
You better hide
You better lock your house
And keep the kids inside
Here comes the 20th cetury latest scam
Called half a boy and half a man
He ain't a fool
But he's cool
Because his left don't know
What his right hand is doin'
He'll keep a King Kong eatin'
Out the palm of his hand
He's a half a boy and half a man
Best be fleet
Upon your feet
Or else the SPG's gonna be clearin' the streets
They never made no provision
In the original plan
For half a boy and half a man
When his fingers do the walkin'
In the middle of the night
Where there's people stalkin'
Baby let me tell you
Nothin' comes out right
Best be fleet
Upon your feet
Or else the SPG's gonna be clearin' 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 walkin'
In the middle of the night
There's people stalkin'
Well baby let me tell you
Nothin' ever comes out right
You better run
You better hide
You better lock your house
And keep your kids inside
Here comes the 21st century latest scam
Called half a boy and half a man
Half a boy and half a man
Well he's a half a boy and half a man
Well he's a half a boy and half a man
