Rod Stewart - Cut Across Shorty Lyrics
(marijohn wilkin, wayne p. walker)Now a country boy named shortyAnd a city boy named danHad to prove who could run the fastestTo wed miss lucys handNow dan had all the moneyAnd he also had the looksBut shorty musta had that something boysThat cant be found in booksChorus:cut across shorty, shorty, cut acrossThats what miss lucy saidcut across shorty, shorty, cut acrossYou know its you that I wanna wedWait a minuteNow dan had been in trainingAbout a week before the raceHe made up his mind old shortyWould end in second placeYou know dan with his long legs flyingHe left shorty far behindShorty heard him holler outMiss lucy that youll soon be mine(chorus)But shorty wasnt worriedThere was a smile upon his facecause old lucy had fixed the raceAnd just like that old storyAbout the turtle and the hare, you know that thingWhen danny crossed over the finish lineHe found shorty waiting there(chorus)Its you that I wanna wed, no noAnd oh lord its you I wanna wedIts you that I wanna wed
