Caught Red-Handed
He was caught red-handed
in the money till
Like a deer in headlights he was frozen still
He was caught red-handed
in the arson fire
Like a deer in headlights he was set in mire
He was caught red-handed
in the empty store
Like a deer in headlights he was a last score
He was caught red-handed
in the stolen loot
Like a deer in headlights he was like a mute
He was caught red-handed
in the garbage pit
Like a deer in headlights he was quite unfit
He was caught red-handed
in the candy jar
Like a deer in headlights he was dazed afar
