Lyrics

Shadow Man

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
