The governor crazy
He change the law for a lady
The governor crazy
He change the law for a young lady
A policeman had she under arrest
Claiming she wasn't properly dressed
But when the news reach around
That was big uproar
The governor get mad and change the law
Leave her alone, do you understand
Hands off, don't touch, that's my command
He said I love to see her in the Bermuda shorts, you hear
Darling, you look so pretty in the short little shorts, oh, my dear
This time if you see she
With the shorts rolled up above she knee
That's what she was wearing
You could imagine how the governor staring
Oh yes, he watch till he mouth start to dribble
Scratch he head and he fix his spectacle
Looking as pale as if he go dead
With the two big eyes popping out he head
Leave her alone, do you understand
Hands off, don't touch, that's my command
Darling, I love to see her in the Bermuda shorts, you hear
I said you look so pretty in the short little shorts, oh, my dear
You talking 'bout figure
She had a shape like a real Coca-Cola
When she said goodbye
The governor had water in the eye
He look as if he was planning to attack
So the secretary and them had to hold him back
Because the way he watch she
If they didn't hold him back he woulda bite up the lady
Leave her alone, do you understand
Hands off, don't touch, that's my command
Darling, I love to see her in the Bermuda shorts, you hear
I said you look so pretty in the short little shorts, oh, my dear
Taxi drivers hold up
Just to see how the shorts was rolled up
She think it was so cute
But in my opinion it was like a bathing suit
Donkey cart bounce up with a car
And the donkey wouldn't move a step further
All the stevedores quit working on the wharf
Still the governor don't want her to take it off
Leave her alone, do you understand
Hands off, don't touch, that's my command
He said I love to see her in the Bermuda shorts, you hear
I said you look so pretty in the short little shorts, oh, my dear
