Girls, beware of the bandit from Westchester County
I can’t offer you no reward,
‘Cause all he left me was a broken heart.
He kidnapped me excitingly, and then he robbed me off my dignity.
And when enough of his time had been spent, he left me
(Sha-la-la-la, la…) moaning… (Sha-la-la-la, la…) Yeah.
He left me (Sha-la-la-la, la…) moan,
Moaning… (Sha-la-la-la, la…) Yes, he did… hey.
Be careful, my sisters, yeah — he’s armed with an innocent smile
With a dangerous love record that can stretch for miles and miles.
Hey, girls! Take a hint — He don’t leave no fingerprints
And if he gets his hands on you, he’s gonna leave you
(Sha-la-la-la, la…) Wanting… (Sha-la-la-la, la…) Yes, he will.
And he’ll leave you… (Sha-la-la-la, la…) Moan,
Moaning… (Sha-la-la-la, la…) Oh, yeah… yeah.
Any female information concernin’ this bandit person
He may be sitting right next to you,
And Westchester County is right there too.
Hey, girls!
I’ve got a confession to make if they put that bandit in jail:
I’ll be the first one to go on his bail.

He left me (Sha-la-la-la, la…) wanting, oh, yeah…
