flatbaroque Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Having a few beers, watching a spaghetti western and mucking around with blues licks on a uke and came up with this strange one....bit of fun i hope - with a few movie references for fellow old codgers I ran amok in Italy I ran amok in Spain They let me out of prison And I ran amok again I’m the continental outlaw Rococo Jesse James I’m a sophisticated bandit I ride a sophisticated range I been rich as Croesus Been as poor as dirt But I never skimped on caviar Or embroidered silk shot shirts And if you see me coming Beware of what’s beneath I might look like Tyrone Power But I’m bad like Lee Van Cleef I shake the bush and run I’m such a cool hand son I live the code bang bang My tippy toes wont hang I’m the continental outlaw Rococo Jesse James Call me that this evening Tomorrow I might have another name I kidnapped once a Countess The good Lady Antoinette Ransom got paid swiftly But it wasn’t over yet She cried Jesse oh dear Jesse I’d rather stay with you Well with my eye for beauty What could a poor boy do So now we terrorise the Pyrenees Cut a swathe through the Frenchy Alps Annie in her ruby crown, Me in my gold gun belt We’re continental outlaws Rococo and Mrs James We’re sophisticated bandits We ride a sophisticated range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Flat baroque... Ya crazy bastid. That's effing brilliant. There's lyrics in there wouldn't be out of place in a Dylan song.
