Who Said Shorty Wasn't Coming Back - Lucky Millinder перевод на немецкий

Who Said Shorty Wasn't Coming Back

There was a guy around 40, they called him Shorty
The kind of guy who rambled around
Until the fellows got together, decided whether
They should run Shorty out of town

Oh Shorty had to go, Let me tell you 'bout
Shorty had to go
'Cos the fellows got together and decided it was better
And Shorty had to go

All the guys called a meeting and took a vote.
That was all poor Shorty wrote,
They wanted satisfaction,
So they ran into action,
And ran poor Shorty outta town!

They took rag mops, clothes props, ash cans, dish pans,
And beat poor Shorty all over his head.
They ran him muddy,
'Til he was bloody,
I knew poor Shorty was almost dead.

They ran him down to the railroad track,
But he laughed out loud and said I'll be back.

All the gals,
Called on their pals,
To get enough dough to get Shorty back,
They had a rally,
Out in the alley,
They took up dollars in a croker sack.

Wer sagte, Shorty käme nicht zurück

Es gab 'nen Typ um die 40, sie nannten ihn Shorty
Die Sorte, die ständig herumzog
Bis sich die Kerle trafen, beschlossen
Shorty aus der Stadt zu jagen

Oh, Shorty musste gehen, lass mich erzählen
Shorty musste gehen
Denn die Kerle kamen zusammen, fanden es besser
Also musste Shorty gehen

Alle riefen zum Treffen, stimmten ab
Das schrieb den armen Shorty ab
Sie wollten Genugtuung
Wurden aktiv, ohne Ruh
Jagten Shorty aus der Stadt!

Sie nahmen Lumpenmopps, Stangen, Mülleimer, Töpfe
Schlugen Shorty überall auf seinen Kopf
Sie scheuchten ihn schlammig
Bis er blutig
Ich wusste, er war fast tot

Sie trieben ihn zu den Eisenbahngleisen
Doch er lachte laut: "Ich werd wiederkommen"

Alle Mädchen
Riefen ihre Freunde
Für Geld, um Shorty zurückzubringen
Hielten ein Treffen
Draußen in der Gasse
Sammelten Dollars in einem Jutesack
