Short Little Shorts - Mighty Sparrow

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

This time if you see she

With the shorts roll up, up above the knee

That’s what she was wearing

You could imagine how the Governor staring

Yes he watch till he mouth start to dribble

Then he scratch he head and he fix he spectacle

Looking as pale as if he were dead

With his 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 you in the Bermuda shorts

You hear, I said you look so pretty in the short little shorts

You talking 'bout figure

She had a shape like a real Coca-Cola

So when she said goodbye

The Governor had water in the eye

It looked 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 would have bite up the lady

Leave her alone, do you understand

Hands off, don’t touch, that’s my command

Darling I love to see you in the Bermuda shorts

You hear, I say you look so pretty in the short little shorts

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 can’t bounce off with a car

And the donkey wouldn’t move a jot 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
