Girls, beware of the bandit

From Westchester County

I can't offer you no reward

All he left me was a boken heart

He kidnapped me excitingly

When he round me up my dignity

And when enough of his time was spent,

He left me wanting more, oh (sha-la-la la la)

Sha-la la (sha-la-la la la)

He left me wanting more, oh oh

Sha-la-la-la-la (sha-la-la la la)

(La)



Be careful, my sisters (be careful, my sisters)

He's armed with an innocent smile

And a dangerous love record

That could stretched from miles and miles

Hey girls, you oughta take a hint

'Cause he won't leave no fingerprints

And when he gets his hands on you,

He'll have you wanting more, oh

Sha-la-la-la-la (sha-la-la la la)

He'll have you wanting mo-o-re, oh oh

Sha-la-la (sha-la-la la la)

(La)



[INTERLUDE]



For your female information,

You might be in a same situation

He might be sitting right next to you

Westchester County is right there, too

Hey girls, I got a confession to make

If they put that bandit in jail,

I'm gonna jump right in his cell

There's something about him (sha-la-la la la)

Sha-la-la, yeah (sha-la-la la la)

The way he makes me groove, ooh ooh ooh

(Sha-la-la la la)

There's something about him (sha-la-la la la)

Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah (sha-la-la la la)
