Lyrics
Chorus
He can stop anything on the Main Street
But he can’t stop a thing at home
Outdoors he pulls a lot of funny things
With that big hand
But in the house he darsent
For he hasn’t got the sand
He tells you to stop then takes down your name
As he talks in an ugly tone
Oh, yes, he may be a bear on the Main Street
But he’s meek as a lamb at home
Chorus
He can stop anything on the Main Street
But he can’t stop a thing at home
You ought to see him help the ladies
As they cross the street
Oh, yes, he likes to help them
If they’re full of “pep” and sweet
You shiver with fear, when his voice you hear
You’re afraid that you’ll pull a bone
Oh, yes, he may be a king on the Main Street
But he’s nothing at all at home
