Down down down town, east side of the river
Bowery boys are living off the street
There stands a stranger all dressed in black
He´s looking for someone - he´s gonna knife ´em in the back
Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA
Sneaky Pete´s using his feet, getting off the street ´cos
He´s got something to hide

Danger, there´s a stranger
Intruding in your own backyard
But stranger, there´s a danger
Don´t come across nobody hard

So tough mixing it rough down in Harlem
There´s no honky boys for miles around
But there´s that stranger all dressed in white
He´s looking for someone
He´s gonna show ´em the light, yeah
He´s gonna show ´em the light, oh yeah

Don´t feel safe using the face of Fifth Avenue
Pin stripe suits ain´t no disguise if you´re not a man that´s true
Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA
Sneaky Pete´s using his feet, getting off the street ´cos
He´s got something to hide

Danger, there´s a stranger
Intruding in your own backyard
But stranger, there´s a danger
Don´t come across nobody hard
