Artist/Band: Supremes
Lyrics for Song: The Sha-La Bandit (Alternate Vocals Version)
Lyrics for Album: The 70s Anthology [2002]



(Jerry Lang Ferguson, Wade Davis Sr.)



Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la, la

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la, la



[Mary]

Girls, beware of the bandit

From Westchester County

I can't offer you no reward

'Cause all he left me was a broken heart

He kidnapped me excitingly

Then he round me up my dignity

And when enough of his time was spent,

He left me wanting more

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

He left me wanting more

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



[Cindy]

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

He's armed with an innocent smile

With his dangerous love record

That can stretched for miles and miles

Hey, girls... you ought a take a hint

'Cause he won't leave no fingerprints

And when he gets his hands on you,

He'll gonna have you wanting more

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

He'll have you wanting (la) more

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



[interlude]



[Scherrie]

For your female inforrmation,

You might be in the 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 his (sha-la-la-la-la)

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

The way he makes me groove, oo-oo-ooh

(sha-la-la-la-la)

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

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

The way he makes me groove



Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la, la

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la, la

(repeat til fade)
