Lyrics

When it blows its stacks
When it blows its stacks
When it blows its stacks
When it blows its stacks
When it blows its stacks
He ain't nowhere to be found
When a wolf's claws wear way down
Better watch out there's a man eater around
Hide all the women in town, hide
Hide all the women in town
When it blows its stacks
When it blows, oh
All you girls, make no mistake
He's as cold as a snake sleepin' in the shade
He takes them out, out on an iceberg
Hand 'em a Ronson an' say "I'll see you around"
When he straighten up they all bend down
He don't bow to bad water, he don't pussy foot around
When it blows its stacks
When it blows its stacks
When it blows its stacks
When it blows its stacks
He ain't nowhere to be round
Nowhere to be found, no
Cold as a snake sleeping in the shade
Make no mistake, make no mistake
He ain't nowhere to be found
When it blows its stacks
He ain't nowhere around
Better watch out there's a man eater around
Hide all the women, hide all the women
Hide all the women, hide all the women
Hide all the women
