Who Said Shorty Wasn't Coming Back? |
There was a guy around 40, they called him Shorty |
The kind of guy who rambled around |
Until the fellows got together, decided whether |
They should run Shorty out of town |
Oh Shorty had to go, Let me tell you 'bout |
Shorty had to go |
'Cos the fellows got together and decided it was better |
And Shorty had to go All the guys called a meeting and took a vote. |
That was all poor Shorty wrote, |
They wanted satisfaction, |
so they ran into action, |
and ran poor Shorty outta town! |
They took rag mops, clothes props, ash cans, dish pans, |
and beat poor Shorty all over his head. |
They ran him muddy, |
'til he was bloody, |
I knew poor Shorty was almost dead. |
They ran him down to the railroad track, |
but he laughed out loud and said I’ll be back. |
All the gals, |
called on their pals, |
to get enough dough to get Shorty back, |
They had a rally, |
out in the alley, |
they took up dollars in a croker sack. |
