Artist: Ray Stevens
Album: Ray Stevens - His All-Time Greatest Comic Hits




The Streak

(Reporter):
Hello, everyone, this is your action news reporter with all the news that is news across the nation, on the scene at the supermarket.
There seems to have been some disturbance here. Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?


(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's standin' over there by the tomaters, and here he come, running through the pole beans, through the fruits and vegetables, nekkid as a jay bird. And I hollered over t' Ethel, I said, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it's too late, she'd already been incensed.

(Chorus)
Here he comes, look at that, look at that
There he goes, look at that, look at that
And he ain't wearin' no clothes

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak
Look at that, look at that
Fastest thing on two feet
Look at that, look at that
He's just as proud as he can be
Of his anatomy
He goin' give us a peek

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak
Look at that, look at that
He likes to show off his physique
Look at that, look at that
If there's an audience to be found
He'll be streakin' around
Invitin' public critique

(Reporter):
This is your action news reporter once again, and we're here at the gas station. Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?

(Witness):
Yeah, I did. I's just in here gettin my car checked, he just appeared out of the traffic. Come streakin' around the grease rack there, didn't have nothin' on but a smile.
I looked in there, and Ethel was gettin' her a cold drink. I hollered, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it was too late. She'd already been mooned. Flashed her right there in front of the shock absorbers.

(Chorus)
He ain't crude, look at that, look at that
He ain't lewd, look at that, look at that
He's just in the mood to run in the nude

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak
Look at that, look at that
He likes to turn the other cheek
Look at that, look at that
He's always makin' the news
Wearin' just his tennis shoes
Guess you could call him unique

(Reporter):
Once again, your action news reporter in the booth at the gym, covering the disturbance at the basketball playoff.
Pardon me, sir, did you see what happened?

(Witness):
Yeah, I did. Half time, I's just goin' down thar to get Ethel a snow cone. And here he come, right out of the cheap seats, dribbling, right down the middle of the court.
Didn't have on nothing but his PF's. Made a hook shot and got out through the concessions stand.
I hollered up at Ethel, I said, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it was too late. She'd already got a free shot. Grandstandin', right there in front of the home team.

(Chorus) (Witness):
Oh, yes, they call him the Streak (Witness):Here he comes again.
Look at that, look at that (Witness):Who's that with him?
The fastest thing on two feet (Witness):Ethel? Is that you, Ethel?
Look at that, look at that (Witness):What do you think you're
He's just as proud as he can be (Witness):doin'? You git your
Of his anatomy (Witness):clothes on!
He's gonna give us a peek

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak (Witness):Ethel! Where you goin'?
Look at that, look at that (Witness):Ethel, you shameless
He likes to show off his physique (Witness):hussy! Say it isn't so,
Look at that, look at that (Witness):Ethel! Ethelllllll!!!
If there's an audience to be found
He'll be streakin' around
Invitin' public critique

Oh Yes They Call Him The Streak.... 

It is said that Ray Stevens was inspired to write 'The Streak' after reading an article about streaking, which was a fad among college students where they ran around naked in public.

Ray Stevens wrote, sang and recorded 'The Streak' in 1974 and the song reached the top of the Charts.
It also hit No.3 on the Billboard Country chart and was also an international hit reaching No.1 on the UK Charts.

The Streak was undoubtedly Ray Stevens most popular song and was his second No.1 hit, his other No.1 being the 1970 hit Everything is Beautiful.
