Watch Out for Lucy

[Verse 1]

Now my friend Bill was just a working lad

And he liked to have his fun

He liked to find a girl and get comfortable

When his working day was done

He would spend all his money on a Friday night

Wake up in the morning broke

Oh he had a run in with little Lucy then

Believe me that ain't no joke

[Chorus]

Watch out for Lucy though she may look frail

Say excuse me, Lucy, darling, don't you use me

I don't want to land in jail

[Verse 2]

She started out working in a cafe

Picking money up on the side

She was free and easy, everybody's friend

But she couldn't be satisfied

So in walks Bill with his cash in his hand

His heart upon his sleeve

We tried to warn him about her ways

We never did succeed

[Chorus]

Watch out for Lucy though she may look frail

Say excuse me, Lucy, darling, don't you use me

I don't want to land in jail

[Verse 3]

Well, the trap was sprung for poor old Bill

You should have heard little Lucy sing

"I want a Cadillac car, a beautiful home

And a thousand dollar ring"

They found our hero in the gutter

With a diamond ring and a gun

He done it for the love of Lucy

And ended up on the run

[Chorus]

Watch out for Lucy though she may look frail

Say excuse me, Lucy, darling, don't you use me

I don't want to land in jail

Watch out for Lucy though she may look frail

Say excuse me, Lucy, darling, don't you use me

I don't want to land in jail
