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. |
