Girls, beware of the bandit

From Westchester County

I can't offer you no reward

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-la

He left me wanting more---

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

(La)

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

He's armed with an innocent smile

And his dangerous love record

That can stretched for miles and miles

Hey, girls...

You ought to take a hint

'Cause he won't leave no fingerprints

And when he gets his hands on you,

He'll have you wanting more---

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

He'll have you wanting more---

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

(La)

[INTERLUDE]

For you female information,

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)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh, yeah! (Sha-la-la-la-la)

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

Sha-la-la-la-la-ahhhh! (Sha-la-la-la-la)

(La)

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

(Sha-la-la-la-la)

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

(Sha-la-la-la-la)
