The Supremes Lyrics
"The Sha-La Bandit [Alternate Version 3]"

(Jerry Lang Ferguson, Wade Davis Sr.)

Oo-oo-ooh (Sha-la-la la la)
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh (Sha-la-la la la)
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-ohh (la)

Oo-oo-ooh (Sha-la-la la la)
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh (Sha-la-la la la)
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-ohh (la)

Girls, beware of the bandit
From Westchester County
I can't offer you no reward
All he left me was a boken heart
He kidnapped me excitingly
When he round me up my dignity
And when enough of his time was spent,
He left me wanting more, oh (sha-la-la la la)
Sha-la la (sha-la-la la la)
He left me wanting more, oh oh
Sha-la-la-la-la (sha-la-la la la)
(La)

Be careful, my sisters (be careful, my sisters)
He's armed with an innocent smile
And a dangerous love record
That could stretched from miles and miles
Hey girls, you oughta take a hint
'Cause he won't leave no fingerprints
And when he gets his hands on you,
He'll have you wanting more, oh
Sha-la-la-la-la (sha-la-la la la)
He'll have you wanting mo-o-re, oh oh
Sha-la-la (sha-la-la la la)
(La)

[INTERLUDE]

For your female information,
You might be in a same situation
He might be sitting right next to you
Westchester County is right there, too
Hey girls, I got a confession to make
If they put that bandit in jail,
I'm gonna jump right in his cell
There's something about him (sha-la-la la la)
Sha-la-la, yeah (sha-la-la la la)
The way he makes me groove, ooh ooh ooh
(Sha-la-la la la)
There's something about him (sha-la-la la la)
Sha-la-la-la-la, yeah (sha-la-la la la)
