Lyrics for When It Blows Its Stacks

When it blows its stacks He ain't nowhere t' be found When ah wolf's claws wear way down Better watch out there's ah man eater around Hide all the women in town When it blows its stacks All you girls make no mistake He's as cold as ah snake sleepin' in the shade He takes um out Out on an iceberg Hand 'em ah Ronson 'n says I'll see you around When he straighten up They all bend down He don't bow t' bad water He don't pussy foot around When it blows its stacks He ain't nowhere t'be found
