In the middle of the city
racing up the crowded street,
weaving through the peak hour crowd,
he is simply called ‘The Streak.’

His speed is legendary,
and his fame just grows and grows,
but what makes him even faster,
is the absence of all clothes.

He also has a brother
whose nickname’s very flash,
and who also lacks apparel.
He is called ‘The Prince of Dash.’

The authorities can’t catch them,
the twins are just too slick.
As soon as the police approach,
they disappear real quick.

The reason they are naked
to you may sound quite strange.
They’ve no money to buy clothing -
for there’s nowhere to keep their change.
