THE LAST TO BARE HIS PRIVATES HERE

(Dennis Lakusta)
(Sung To The Tune of Barrett's Privateers)
(with apologies to Stan Rogers and Elcid Barrett)

There once was a flasher in Halifax town.
How he wishes he had never been born.
He came from the west in the month of May,
To annoy the townsfolk Day by Day.
 
Chorus:
God damn it all, we fixed him good,
Taught him a lesson and it's understood.
He'll flash no more – have no fear,
‘Cause he's a broken man on a Halifax pier.
The last to bare his privates here.

 
He'd walk the docks in the broad daylight.
How he wishes he had never been born.
With an old trench coat and his rubber boots,
And nothin' underneath but his birthday suit.
Chorus
He snuck up on the ladies and opened his coat.
How he wishes he had never been born.
With his dark sunglasses and a toothless grin,
He'd scare the BeJesus right out of them.
Chorus
The police were summoned but to no avail.
How he wishes he had never been born.
Every time they arrived at the pier he was on,
He had slipped right away, he was already gone.
Chorus
So the townsfolk gathered at the old town hall.
How he wishes he had never been born.
After many long hours they came up with a plan,
We’ll phone Mrs. Bobbit, she’ll deal with the man.
Chorus
So Loreena came up and she walked the piers.
How he wishes he had never been born.
And one last time he opened his coat,
You can cut to the chase, that`s all she wrote.
Chorus
So I give fair warnin` to you flashers all.
How he wishes he had never been born.
If you`re comin`to town to do something strange,
You just may be in for a quick sex change.
Chorus
