Cut Across Shorty - Freddie & The Dreamers
When a country people called shorty
And a city boy named dan
Had to prove who could run the fastest
To wed miss lucys hand
Now dan had all the money
And he also had the looks
But shorty musta had something else can be funny boys
When cut across shorty shorty cut across
That's what miss lucy said
Cut across shorty shorty cut across
They sure where I wanna wed
Now dan had been in training
A week before the race
He made up his mind old shorty
Would end in second place
And dan with his long legs flying
And shorty far behind
Shorty heard him holler out
Miss lucy that you'll soon be mine
When cut across shorty shorty cut across
That's what miss lucy said
Cut across shorty shorty cut across
Its you where I wanna wed
But shorty wasn't worried
There was a smile upon his face
He knew he was going the wakes
Cause lucy had fixed the race
And just like that old story
About the turtle and the hare
When danny he crossed over the finish line
He found shorty waiting there
When cut across shorty shorty cut across
That's what miss lucy said
Cut across shorty shorty cut across
It's you where I wanna wed
Cut across Shorty Shorty cut across
That's what Miss Lucy said
Cut across Shorty Shorty cut across
It's you where I wanna wed
It's you where I wanna wed
It's you where I wanna wed
It's you where I wanna wed
It's you where I wanna wed
