We want the rockin' bandit (la-la-la-la)
We want the rockin' bandit (la-la-la-la)
We want the rockin' bandit (la-la-la)
Here I am, here I am!
I am the rockin' bandit
I am the rockin' bandit
I rock-a to and fro'
Shootin' 'em as I go
Well, I'm a friend to the bad
A menace to the law
I can out-draw 'em all, yeah
Paladin and Wyatt Earp
Both sick with fright when my gun goes burp
Oh baby, can't you see
No-one can ever get away from me
From the Yellow Dog Saloon
Down to the rockingest tomb
With my Colt 45
I'm the baddest cat alive
Well, I'm a friend to the bad
A menace to the law
I beat 'em all to the draw, yeah
Has anybody seen uh, Tom Doodely
They say he's been a-hangin' around
Bounty hunter, wanted dead or alive
Lawman, man that cat's gotta go (yeah)
Paladin and Wyatt Earp
Both sick with fright when my gun goes burp
Oh baby, can't you see
No-one can ever get away from me
Now, you see I gotta go
To meat another fo'
So, all you girls stay sweet
And-a, till again we meet
I'm a friend to the bad
A menace to the law
I can out-draw 'em all, yeah
We want the rockin' bandit (la-la-la-la)
We want the rockin' bandit (la-la-la-la)
We want the rockin' bandit (la-la-la-la)
