    "Hey Cyclone, you remember me?! I'm the guy you put to sleep, only this time you can see I'm not alone! ha ha You see them two big dudes over there?!"
    The Cyclone looks and said "over where?"
    I turned around and I'm a son of gun they was gone!
    Well the Cyclone looked at me and grinned he said "ok punk here we go again, seems to me that some guys never learn."
    That is the best part I think :D

    This is the first time I've ever heard the full two part version; never even knew it existed until now. I've only ever heard the "single" version which I first heard when I was in 6th grade ('86 - '87), and I listened to it so much I had it completely memorized.
    The editing they did to get to the "single" from this two part version is interesting. Even more interesting is that they did the editing at all, rather than just having Stevens sing it again (something he's certainly no stranger to).

      Just wanted to let you know Ray Stevens has a 3 CD box set that has both these songs plus all the classics. Like The Streak, The Shriner's Convention, Everything is Beautiful, It's Me Again Margaret and a lot more. I believe it's like $30.00 or they have used ones for less. I just bought a used 1,it was in pretty good condition for $12.00 on Amazon( June 30th, 2022.....I love Ray Steven's songs, as someone else has said he is a musical genius....

    @Darthsikk Thank you for commenting, but the line that you are quoting is from the “single version” of this song, were they cut out a few lines and changed a few, then combined Parts 1 and 2 together. This song comes right off the “I Have Returned” album, and is “the original” were it was in two parts.
