NARRATOR:
Ray chased him down the cobbled lane
The wind was howlin’ like a hurricane!
The hooded man tried with all his might
To slip away and vanish out of sight
RAY:
Hey! Stop, you’re violating the law!
I’m positive you bear a face that I saw
At the station on a wanted sign
Don’t you know that I’m Detective Stein?!
Hooded maaaaan!
The hooded maaaaan!
He’s a wanted maaaaan!
That hooded maaaaaan!
Hooded maaaaan!
The Hooded maaaaan!
Oh how he raaaaaan!
That hooded maaaaaan!
RAY:
Stop that beggar he’s getting away!
I can’t keep up and he’s leading me astray
He’s gotta know about the goings-on
He may inform me where the keeper has gone!
Suddenly he stumbled to the ground
And when he landed Ray was startled by the sound
Something wooden made a deafening twang [**TWANG**]
‘Twas the banjo of the Banjo Man
Hooded maaaaan!
The hooded maaaaan!
He’s the Banjo Maaaaan!
That hooded maaaaaan!
Hooded maaaaan!
The Hooded maaaaan!
Oh how he raaaaaan!
That Banjo Maaaaaan!
RAY:
Why did you run away from me, you little swine?
It’s no use now, this is the end of the line.
I want some info that I think you will know
I’ll get you talking now just see if I don’t!
BANJO MAN:
Detective sir...you don’t understand!
I’m not a crook, this is getting out of hand!
You must protect me, take me somewhere secure
In return I’ll tell you everything and more!
Hooded maaaaan!
The hooded maaaaan!
He’s(/I'm) the Banjo Maaaaan!
That hooded maaaaaan!
Hooded maaaaan!
The hooded maaaaan!
He’s(/I'm) the Banjo Maaaaan!
That hooded maaaaaan
RAY [Spoken]:
You come with me, buster. You’ll be interviewed in the nearest public building. Ah what have we here… the Red Herring. That looks like a good place to get some straight answers for once!
