Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Terminus City! The spooky! The wonderful! Safe Words!
He's coming up the road and he's creepin' in your bushes
The sneaky boy! The goddamn sneaky boy
He's starin' at your man and he thinks he looks delicious
The sneaky boy! The goddamn sneaky boy
He's got an itty little bitty and the bitty was mine
We didn't have a problem til you did your crime
It's just the price you pay for being sneaky all the time
The sneaky boy!
(Sneaky boy)
The sneaky boy!
(Sneaky boy)
The sneaky boy!
(Sneaky boy)
There's a pear and a plum but you're all outta peaches
The sneaky boy! The goddamn sneaky boy
He got a four-fingered grip yeah he wiggle when he reaches
The sneaky boy! The four-fingered sneaky boy
Well he's been climbin through the walls since the beginning of time
He's got an itty little bitty and the bitty was mine
He didn't have a problem till you did your crime
It's just the price you pay for being sneaky all the time
The sneaky boy!
(Sneaky boy)
I saw the sneaky boy!
(Diddly dum dum) (Who's that?!)
It's the sneaky boy!
There's a shack in the woods with a lock
(Lock?) Lock! (Lock!) There's a man on the table with a box
(Cock?) Box! (Cock!)
I got a gimme fulla gimmes couldya not? (Couldya?) Not! (Couldya?)
He's coming up the road and he's creepin' in your bushes
The sneaky boy!
Well he's been climbin through the walls since the beginning of time
He's got an itty little bitty and the bitty was mine
He didn't have a problem till you did your crime
It's just the price you pay for being
Just the price you pay for being
Just the price you pay for being
Sneaky all the time!
It's just the price you pay for being sneaky all the time!
