Song title: Mr. Outside
Mr. Outside
They call him Mr. Outside ‘cause he don’t care
Mr. Outside
He’s just having his fun
Mr. Outside
He’s just looking out for number one
Well Mr. Outside
All your money and your power
Won’t help you come the dark hour
Kingdoms crumble
Down to your feet
You’re just another thief out on the street
Mr. Outside
Yeah he don’t care
Mr. Outside
He’s just having his fun
Mr. Outside
Looking out for number one
Dark glasses and money for hire
He got (?) and high tension wire (?)
He got dark, dark Cadillac
He got pretty little little girl in back
Mr. Outside
Oh yeah he don't care
Mr. Outside
He's just having his fun
Mr. Outside
Just looking out for No. 1
Oh little baby got no diamond rings
You cry ‘cause you ain’t got no pretty things
Them pretty things babe just look dumb
When you gotta take ‘em when they come
Mr. Outside
Yeah he don’t care
Mr. Outside
He’s just having his fun
Mr. Outside
Looking out for number one. Notes:
Know from Bruce solo demo, 1979
Mr. Outside
They call him Mr. Outside ’cause he don’t care
Mr. Outside he’s just having his fun
Mr. Outside he’s just looking out for number one
Mr. Outside oh your money and your power
Won’t help you come the dark hour
Kingdoms crumble to your feet
You’re left another thief out on the street
Mr. Outside yeah, he don’t care
Mr. Outside he’s just having his fun
Mr. Outside looking out for number one
Dark glasses and money for hire
All the riches and high-tension wire
He got long dark, dark Cadillac
He got pretty little, little girl in back
Mr. Outside oh lord, he don’t care
Mr. Outside has his fun
Mr. Outside he’s just looking out for number one
Mr. Outside oh yeah, he don’t care
Mr. Outside he’s just having his fun
Mr. Outside looking out for number one
