Genre: country, pop, novelty
What passes for "verses" are spoken "interview" dialogs between a reporter
and a witness. Comically, the
witness is always the same guy, always speaking of his wife Ethel. The music
during these sections is
just a vamp on C and Am, though there is no music at all for the first dialog
section. During the chorus,
after the line ends "They call him The Streak" there is a single blow of a
siren whistle.
(Reporter):
N.C.
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):
N.C.
Yeah, I did. I's standin' overe there by the tomaters, and here he come,
running through the pole beans,
