Lyrics
Oh yes, they call him the Streak (boogity, boogity)
Fastest thing on two feet
He’s just as proud as he can be
Of his anatomy
He goin’ give us a peek
Oh yes, they call him the Streak (boogity, boogity)
He likes to show off his physique
If there’s an audience to be found
He’ll be streakin’ around
Invitin’ public critique
(Chorus)
He ain’t rude, nude, or lewd
He’s just in the mood to run in the nude
He’s always makin’ the news
Wearin’ just his tennis shoes
(Verse 1)
Guess you could call him unique
He’s a streaker, a sneaky little streaker
He’s a streaker, a fast and fearless streaker
He’s a streaker, a bold exhibitionist streaker
He’s a streaker, a notorious streaker
(Verse 2)
He’s never been caught
‘Cause he’s always in and out of sight
He’s quick and nimble
When he takes off in the night
And he ain’t afraid to let it all hang out
He’s got a reputation
Throughout the nation
He’s a sensation, a sensation
(Chorus)
He ain’t rude, nude, or lewd
He’s just in the mood to run in the nude
He’s always makin’ the news
Wearin’ just his tennis shoes
(Verse 3)
He’s a streaker, a sneaky little streaker
He’s a streaker, a fast and fearless streaker
He’s a streaker, a bold exhibitionist streaker
He’s a streaker, a notorious streaker
(Bridge)
Well, jumpin’ and a-bumpin’
He’s got the whole town talkin’
Streakin’ through the park
Jumpin’ out behind a bush
Wearin’ nothin’ but a smile
Wearin’ nothin’ but a smile
(Chorus)
He ain’t rude, nude, or lewd
He’s just in the mood to run in the nude
He’s always makin’ the news
Wearin’ just his tennis shoes
(Outro)
He’s a streaker, a sneaky little streaker
He’s a streaker, a fast and fearless streaker
He’s a streaker, a bold exhibitionist streaker
He’s a streaker, a notorious streaker
