MYSTERY MAN
Music and Lyrics by Jeff Neville c2017
VERSE:
Right on the dot
You walk in ready to rock
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
With your beat up guitar
You walk right up to the bar
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
They don’t like your smashed up nose
Or your style of clothes
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
Now the talking starts
“This guy is missing some parts”
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
With their phones in their hands
They’re texting all who they can
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
And when the stories all erupt
No one knows where you’ll end up
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
Some girl says you’re a thief
And all her friends believe her
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
She says you robbed a bank
And got away with the prank
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
Then you took all the loot
And dropped it down the wrong chute
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
Some lucky guy on the street
Had dollars drop at his feet
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
They’re gonna take all they can
CHORUS:
You come along and bring us all together
You sing a song and make the clouds go away oh yeah
Thanks a lot now we love how you play yeah
Ready or not now stick around
Stick around
VERSE:
Now they’re lining up to see
If a song is all you need
Oh mister mister mister mystery man
And when the fire catches on
You don’t know how to respond do you?
Mister mister mister mystery man
You better run while you can
CHORUS:
You come along and bring us all together
You sing a song and make the clouds go away oh yeah
Thanks a lot now we love how you play yeah
Ready or not now stick around 'cause we still need you here oh yeah
We still need you here oh yeah
We still need you here oh yeah
But we don’t want you here oh yeah
