Hats Off To Larry
Del Shannon · Story [2004]
Her name it doesn't matter
She went away with another guy
Now he won't even look at her
Hats Off To Larry
He broke your heart
Just like you broke mine
When you said we must part
He told you lies, Now it's your turn to cry cry cry
Now that Larrys said goodbye to you
I know this may sound strange
I want you back I think you'll change
But there's one more thing I got to say
Hats off to Larry
It may sound cruel
But you laughed at me
When you said we were through
You told me lies now its your turn to cry cry cry
Now that Larrys said goodbye to you
----SMALL INSTRUMENTAL----
Hats Off To Larry
He broke your heart
Just like you broke mine
When you said we must part
You told me lies, Now it's your turn to cry cry cry
Now that Larrys said goodbye to you, to you, to you....
