Curtis Mayfield - Short Eyes Lyrics

Stranger man took my only daughter
Round the candy shop, soda pop
All for just a quarter
Rememberin' the loving way she wore her hair
Her sunrise eyes, her petite size
Just want to warn you children some
Short Eyes is pusher number one
Girls, when you shake your shaggy, shaggy
Beware dudes when you hang out in the alley.

Beware dirty, dirty, dirty
Short Eyes
Any kind of people so disguised
Brother man will see them penalized

Sad, sick ain't no way for bail
Kinda feel like sending him to hell
Handsome man becomes an ugly freak
Freak freak freak freak freak
Out just long enough for nasty treats
Living corpse wedged up in the tombs
Has to face the judgment in the room

Beware dirty, dirty dirty
Short Eyes
Any kind of people so disguised
Brother man will see them penalized

Freak freak freak freak freak
Freak freak freak

Beware dirty dirty dirty Short Eyes
Any kind of people so disguised
Brother man will see them penalized
