[Verse 1]
Old lady lost in the city
In the middle of a cold, cold night
It was fourteen below and the wind start to blow
There wasn't a boy scout in sight

[Verse 2]
Pull down the shade 'cause he's comin'
Turn out the light before he's here
Runnin' hard down the street through the snow and the sleet
On the coldest night of the year

[Chorus]
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man

[Verse 3]
Old lady head up toward Broad Street
Shufflin' uptown against the wind
She had started to cry, wiped a tear from her eye
Looked back to see where she had been

[Verse 4]
Old lady stand on the corner
With a purse in her hand
She does not know but in a minute or so
She will be robbed by a naked man
[Chorus]
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man

[Verse 5]
Old lady lean against a lamppost
Starin' down at the ground on which she stand
Look up and scream for in the lamplight's beam
There stood the famous naked man

[Bridge]
He say, "They found out about my sister, kicked me out of the Navy
They would have strung me up if they could
I tried to explain that we were both of us lazy
And were doing the best we could"

[Verse 6]
But he faked to the left, he faked to the right
He snatched the purse from her hand
"Someone stop me," he cried as he faded from sight
"Won't nobody help a naked man?"
"Won't nobody help a naked man?"

[Chorus]
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
Beware, beware, beware of the naked man
