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.
He?s 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. (Maybe we?ll get maried..)
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. (Did he get your cherry?)
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. (Did he get your cherry?)
The baby is a citizen 'cuz Larry ain?t here
He left 'em eight million a year....
She's a lucky, lucky girl,
Larry just dissappeared.
