The Lyrics
...inspired by "the fugitive"...
hey, where did you go ?
gone, when the cops came
disfigured fellow
left me to get blamed
murdering and running...hey hey
skipping off, legs pumping
wife, i am a-mourning...yeah yeah
wow...she's been bumped off by you
the one armed man
you..the one armed man
whatever happened ?
i find she's been laid low
taken out by a cold man
with a limb missing, doncha know ?
fingered, cause the cops are baffled
do not buy my tale at all
so i must be hiding
looks like i must take the fall for you
the one armed man
you...the one armed man
you've a dismembered limb
you've taken wing
wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
wah wah wah wah wah wah
you big rat
wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
wah wah wah wah wah wah
you're uncaught
i had to get away
sadly, i'm on my own
i saw you just the other day
my, the coop you've flown
in my memory, your face, bored
sometime i'm overcome thinking about
you think you've got a free pass
i'll...find...you...dirty bum
yeah, you
the one armed man
you...the one armed man
you've a dismembered limb
you've taken wing
wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
wah wah wah wah wah wah
you big rat
wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
wah wah wah wah wah wah
you're uncaught
gone, when the cops came
disfigured fellow
left me to get blamed
murdering and running...hey hey
skipping off, legs pumping
wife, i am a-mourning...yeah yeah
wow...she's been bumped off by you
the one armed man
you..the one armed man
whatever happened ?
i find she's been laid low
taken out by a cold man
with a limb missing, doncha know ?
fingered, cause the cops are baffled
do not buy my tale at all
so i must be hiding
looks like i must take the fall for you
the one armed man
you...the one armed man
you've a dismembered limb

wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

I assume that was about that ancient show The Fugitive. Good twist on the original song.
One arm = Five fingers. Of course, "The Fugitive" inspired not just a Harrison Ford film version and the later Steven Weber reboot series that didn't last, but also countless knockoffs, including the TV version of "The Incredible Hulk." The August 29, 1967 finale broke Ed Sullivan's Beatles-into record for most-watched TV show in U.S. history, and it wasn't just because people wanted the story resolved: It was damn good TV, right down to the "heavy" (the late Barry Morse as Lt. Gerard) seeing that the hero (David Janssen as Dr. Kimble) was right all along and helping him bring the real killer down.
One of my favorite OSes, and a very good movie (and tv show...but I'm more familiar with the movie). Great job.
My fave: "The Fugitive" with Tommy Lee Jones as da'Sheriff ! . . . Love you, Texy Cowboy!
The one armed man deserves 555 years with no parole. XD
thanks 2eagle, michael, jeff, littleFugiCakes and stephen
You're not one armed, Man...You're five armed, Man
thanks AFW
KIIIIIIIMMMMMMBBBLLLLEEEE!
thanks tim...exactly...lol
Nice take on the OS... Have some 5's.
I seem to recall that cross eyed girl and one eyed snake has been done already to this song, still there are good takes left obviously. :-)
Very nice job. Quite a leap of imagination, tying The Fugitive to this tune. Well done.
thanks barry, peter and smeg (and the heads, too)
