blackman at your shoulder

close to each other

one

have you seen

seen the black man

at your shoulder

coming closer and closer

with every passing day

ain't you scared

of the black man by your shoulder

breathing down hard on you

wherever you be

with every passing day

your distance you get not used to

you toss in your head with a flick of the wrist

all the way

baby

ain't you scared

scared of the black man

by your shoulder

he is going to steal your woman

steal your woman away

ain't you scared

of the black man by your shoulder

breathing down hard on you wherever you

hard

wherever you be

every passing day

you're trying to search for him

turn him loose

but the quick brown fox

is going to steal your booze away

baby ain't you scared

scared of the black man

standing by your shoulder

going to steal your woman

steal your woman away

well the language is strange

but your average isn't

you toss in your head with a flick of the wrist

all the way home

all the way

off the key

ain't you scared

scared of the black man

by your shoulder

it's getting harder every day

every day

the language is strange

but your average isn't

you toss in your head with a flick of the wrist

all the way home

all the way home

all the way home

baby ain't you scared

scared of the black man

by your shoulder

shoulder

shoulder

baby ain't you scared
