The Sha-La Bandit

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, baby

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

Sha, la, la, la, la, la, baby

Sha, la, la, la, la, la

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

And then he robbed me off my dignity

And when enough of his time had spent

He left me (sha, la, la, la, la)

Moaning, yeah (sha, la, la, la, la)

He left me (sha, la, la, la, la)

Moan, moaning, babe, yes it is, eh (sha, la, la, la, la)

Be careful, my sisters, yeah

He’s armed with an innocent smile

With a dangerous love record

That can stretched for miles and miles

Hey girls, take a hint

He don’t leave no fingerprints

And if he catch his hands on you, he’s gonna be

Moaning (sha, la, la, la, la)

Yes he will, and he’ll leave you (sha, la, la, la, la)

Moan, moaning (sha, la, la, la, la)

Oh, yeah, yeah (sha, la, la, la, la)

Any female information

Concerned in this bandit person

He may be sitting right next to you

And what’s just the County is right there too

Hey girls, I got a confession to make

If they put that bandit in jail

I’ll be the first one to go on his mail, he left me

Moaning, oh yeah (sha, la, la, la, la)

I’m the wanted woman, and see me (sha, la, la, la, la)

He left me moaning, oh, yeah (sha, la, la, la, la)

Sha, la, baby, yeah, and it’s all about this (sha, la, la, la, la)

Sha, la, la, la, la, auh

Sha, la, la, la, la, ah, ah, ah

Sha, la, la, la, la, ooh, baby

Sha, la, la, la, la, ah, ah, ah

Sha, la, la, la, la, look so good to me baby

Sha, la, la, la, la, ah, ah, ah

Sha, la, la, la, la, auh, baby

Sha, la, la, la, la, ah, ah, ah

Sha, la, la, la, la, he’s branded for good

Sha, la, la, la, la, he tell the truth to you all

Sha, la, la, la, la, hey, gone for me

Sha, la, la, la, la, ah, ah, ah

Sha, la, la, la, la, ooh, Good God Almighty

Sha, la, la, la, la, ah, ah, ah
