Lyrics

This one's from Gasoline Alley
 Now a country boy named Shorty
 And a city boy named Dan
 Had to prove who could run the fastest
 To wed Miss Lucy's hand
 Now Dan had all the money
 And he also had the looks
 But Shorty musta had that something, boys
 That can't be found in books
 "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
 That's what Miss Lucy said
 "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
 It's you that I wanna wed"
 Now Dan had been in training
 About a week before the race
 He made up his mind, old Shorty
 Would end in second place
 Know Dan with his long legs flying
 He left Shorty far behind
 Shorty heard him holler out
 "Miss Lucy, you'll soon be mine"
 Well, "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
 That's what Miss Lucy said
 "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
 It's you that I wanna wed", oh, yeah
 ♪
 Oh, yeah
 ♪
 Shorty wasn't worried
 There was a smile upon his face
 'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race
 And just like that old story
 About the turtle and the hare
 When Danny crossed over the finish line
 He found Shorty waiting there
 Ah, "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
 That's what Miss Lucy said
 "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
 It's you that I wanna wed"
 "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across"
 That's what Miss Lucy said
 "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
 It's you that I wanna wed"
 Oh, yeah
 You I wanna wed
 ♪
 How was that?
