Mighty Sparrow Short Little Shorts Lyrics

The governer crazy
He change the law for a lady
The governer crazy
He change the law for a young lady

A policeman had she under arrest
Claiming she wasn't properly dressed
But when the news reach around
That was big uproar
The governer get mad and change the law

[Chorus]
Leave her alone
Do you understand
Hands off don't touch
That's my command
He said I love to see her in the bermuda shorts
You hear! darling you look so pruddy in the short little shorts
Whoah-oh oh oh, my dear

This time if you see she
With her shorts rolled up above she knee
That's what she was wearing
You could imagine how the governer staring
Oh yes he watch till he mouth start to dribble
Scratch he head and he fix his spectacles
Looking as pale as if he were dead
With his two big eyes poppin out he head

[Chorus]
Leave her alone
Do you understand
Hands off don't touch
That's my command
Darling I love to see her in the bermuda shorts
You hear! I said you look so pruddy in the short little shorts
Whoah-oh oh oh, my dear

You talking about figure She had a shape like a real cocacola
When she said goodbye
The Governer had water in the eye

It look as though he was planning to attach
So the secretary and them had to hold him back
Because the way he watching
If they didn't hold him back he would have bite up the lady

[Chorus]
Leave her alone
Do you understand
Hands off don't touch
That's my command
Darling I love to see her in the bermuda shorts
You hear! I said you look so pruddy in the short little shorts
Whoah, my dear

Taxi drivers hold up
Just to see how the shorts was rolled up
She thinks it was so cute
But in my opinion it was like a bathing suit

Donkey cart bounce up with a car
And the donkey wouldn't move a step further
All the stevedores quit working on the worth
But the Governer don't want her to take it off

[Chorus]
Leave her alone
Do you understand
Hands off don't touch
That's my command
Darling I love to see her in the bermuda shorts
You hear! I said you look so pruddy in the short little shorts
Whoah-oh oh oh, my dear
