Watch Out For Lucy |
Now my friend Bill was just a working lad |
And he liked to have his fun. |
He’d like to find a girl and get comfortable |
When his working day was done. |
He would spend all his money on a Friday night, |
Wake up in the morning broke, |
But he had a run in with little Lucy then; |
Believe me that ain’t no joke. |
Watch out for Lucy, |
Though she may look frail. |
Say excuse me, Lucy, |
Darling don’t you use me; |
I don’t want to land in jail. |
She started out working in a cafe, |
Picking money up on the side. |
She was free and easy, everybody’s friend, |
But she couldn’t be satisfied. |
So now in walks Bill with his cash in his hand, |
His heart upon his sleeve. |
We tried to warn him about her ways, |
We never did succeed. |
Chorus |
Well, the trap was sprung for poor old Bill; |
You should have heard little Lucy sing |
«I want a Cadillac car, a beautiful home, |
And a thousand dollar ring.» |
They found our hero in the gutter |
With a diamond ring and a gun. |
He’d done it for the love of Lucy |
And ended up on the run. |
