Lyrics
LARRY WAS HER BOYFRIEND C Michael Siegel 2003
She was young and brown and lean,
Dancin’ in Manila, the girly bar scene.
The mama-san picked her to be his cherry girl.
Hes was hairy and he wore funky clothes,
She had no way to know,
That he could afford to buy her anything in the world.
Larry was her boyfriend, (Have you been with Larry?)
He was a rich American. (He’s the kind you wanna marry)
She gave him a baby,’cuz he bought her a beer
She was a cast-away souvenir,
She's a lucky, lucky girl,
Larry just dissappeared....
She was living in the barrio
About a year later on a TV show
She learned Larry crashed his Catalina PBY into the sea
Tho the the baby was a legal heir
Half-caste child of a multi-millionaire
The kid could go to college, if she could prove paternity..
Larry was her boyfriend, (Have you been with Larry?)
He was a rich American. (He’s the kind you wanna marry)
She gave him a baby, 'cuz he bought her a beer
She was a cast-away souvenir,
She's a lucky, lucky girl,
Larry just dissappeared....
Four other mamas, makin' a claim
Got the kids together, matched the DNA
Judgement for the plaintiffs, everybody?s happy,
Split up the fortune, Larry is the daddy!
Larry was her boyfriend, (Have you been with Larry?)
He was a rich American. (He’s the kind you wanna marry)
The baby is a citizen 'cuz Larry ain?t here
