La Bandida
Marty Robbins
She was only seventeen and he was one year more
She loved him with all her heart, and he the girl adored
But all their friends believed they were too young to know the score
‘Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more
Are they old enough to know if love will last a life?
Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife?
Within the past I bet it's happened more than once before
When someone else was seventeen and another one year more
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong?<
The Way You Look At Me
THE SCOTSMAN
Bryon Boyers
(Dr. Demento's 20th anniversery tape)
Well a scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he drank more than his share
He fumbled around until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
She crept up on that sleeping scotsman as quiet as could be
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold unto their view beneath his scotish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a moment than one said we must be gone
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonny star the scot's kilt did lift and show
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
Around the bonny star the scot's kilt did lift and show
Now the scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gasps at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
Och lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
Ring-ding-diddle-diddle hai-dee-ho ring-di-diddly-ai-oh
Och lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize!
