Shadow Man Lyrics by The Dickies

The Incredible Shrinking Dickies [2000 reissue]

0

He's in the alley
He's big and tall
He's got no family
He makes me small

Black man, black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man, black man
Shadow man
'Cause he's a shadow man
Black man, black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man, black man
Shadow man
Yeah, shadow man

He's got the rhythm
He likes to dance
He likes white women
He wants romance

Black man, black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man, black man
Shadow man
'Cause he's a shadow man

Trash man, junk man, elevator operator
Trash man, junk man, elevator operator
Trash man, junk man, elevator operator
Hominy grits and watermelon
Black-eyed peas and Armageddon

[Saxophone solo]

Yeah
Yeah
He gotta beat outta you

Black man, black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man, black man
Shadow man
'Cause he's a shadow man
Black man, black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man, black man
Shadow man
I see a shadow man

Black man, black man, black man, black man
Black man, black man, black man
He's a shadow man
