Who Said Shorty Wasn't Coming Back?

Who Said Shorty Wasn't Coming Back? - Lucky Millinder And His Orchestra

Lyrics by：Nix/Glover

Composed by：Nix/Glover

There was a guy around 40 they called him Shorty

The kind of guy who rambled around

Until the fellows got together decided whether

They should run Shorty out of town

Oh Shorty had to go

Let me tell you 'bout

Shorty had to go

'Cos the fellows got together and decided it was better

And Shorty had to go

All the guys called a meeting and took a vote

That was all poor Shorty wrote

They wanted satisfaction

So they ran into action

And ran poor Shorty outta town

Oh Shorty had to go

Let me tell you 'bout

Shorty had to go

And Shorty had to go

They wanted satisfaction

Do Shorty outta town

They took rag mops clothes props ash cans dish pans

And beat poor Shorty all over his head

They ran him muddy

'Til he was bloody

I knew poor Shorty was almost dead

I knew poor Shorty was almost dead

They ran him down to the railroad track

But he laughed out loud and said I'll be back

All the gals

Called on their pals

To get enough dough to get Shorty back

They had a rally

Out in the alley

They took up dollars in a croker sack

They took up dollars in a croker sack

Now the gal she pumping

Now she hit the city

Sure he be left the real road city

They ran him down to the railroad track

And I'll be back in the cardilac

Now the gal she pumping

Now she hit the city

Sure he be left the real road city

They ran him down to the railroad track

And I'll be back in the cardilac
