    In the song 'The Streak' the singer warns his wife "Don't look, Ethel!" followed by the line "Too late, she was ???" What were the fates she underwent? I think there may have been a different one in each verse.

    The Streak
    Written by - Ray Stevens

    Here are the three verses with Ethel's fate:

    Yeh, I did...I was standing over there by the tomatoes
    And here he come
    Running through the pole beans, through the fruits and vegetables
    Naked as a jay-bird
    And I hollered over at Ethel...I said don't look Ethel
    It was too late, she'd already been incensed...

    Yeh, I did...I was just in here gettin' my tires checked
    And he just appeared out of the traffic
    Come streakin' around the grease rack there
    Didn't have nothing on but a smile
    I looked in there and Ethel was gettin' her a cold drink
    I hollered...Don't look Ethel
    It was too late...She'd already been mooned
    Flashed her right there in front of the shock absorbers

    Yeh, I did...Half-time, I was just going down there
    To get Ethel a snow cone
    Here he come right out of the cheap seats
    Dribblin'...right down the middle of the court
    Didn't have on nothin' but his PF's
    Made a hook shot and got out thru the concession stand
    I hollered up at Ethel, I said don't look Ethel
    It was too late...She'd already got a free shot
    Grandstanded...Right there in front of the home team


    Here's the entire lyric. It wouldn't fit:

    You left out the best part:

    Here he comes...look...who's that with him?
    Ethel, is that you, Ethel?
    What do you think you're doing?
    You get your clothes on!

    Ethel, where you going?
    Ethel, you shameless hussy
    Say it isn't so Ethel
    Ethel...
