カット・アクロス・ショーティー - Eddie Cochran

Now a country boy named Shorty

And a city boy named Dan

Had to prove who could run the fastest

To win Miss Lucy’s hand

Now Dan had all the money

And he also had the looks

But Shorty must have had something boys that can’t be found in books

«Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across.»

That’s what Miss Lucy said

«Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across

It’s you I wanna win.»

Now Dan had been in training

A week before the race

He’d made up his mind old Shorty

Would end in second place

Now Dan with his long legs flying

Left Shorty far behind

And Shorty heard him holler out

«Miss Lucy you’ll soon be mine.»

«Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across.»

That’s what Miss Lucy said

«Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across

It’s you I wanna win.»

But Shorty wasn’t worried

He had a smile upon his face

He knew that he was gonna win

'Cos Lucy had fixed the race

And just like that old story 'bout the turtle and the hare

When Dan crossed over the finishing line

He found Shorty waiting there

«Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across.»

That’s what Miss Lucy said

«Cut across Shorty, Shorty cut across

It’s you I wanna win.»
