Bum Bandit Lyrics

Bum Bandit lyrics

Hands up! Hands up! 

Stick 'em up, everybody; 

And now we do the
hold-up rag! 

All aboard! 

Look out! It's the hold-up rag! 



Mister Engineer, now look a-here, 

There's someone down there
on the track.  Yeah? 

See that wicked eye? 

He's out to do or die;


Hear his pistol going crack? 

Hold your watch and chain, 

And stop the train; 

Put on the brakes and let her drag. 

For
you certainly got to hand it 

To that gentlemanly bandit 

When he
makes you do the hold-up rag! 



Bimbo sings: 



Hands
up! Hands up! 

Everybody, hands up! 

Get out and do that hold-up
rag! 

Make it snappy there, 

Go into your dance; 

Don't you
hide that diamond in your pants! 

Easy there, 

Shell out, shell
out! 

Don't you dare to yell out, 

Drop your pearls and diamonds in
the bag; 

All aboard! 

Look out! It's the hold-up rag! 



I'm Dangerous Nan, the sister of Dan McGrew, 

Believe it or not, 

My father and brother were tough, 

But I'm the toughest one of the
lot. 



I'm Dangerous Nan McGrew, 

Pipe down or I'll fill you
with lead. 

I'm harder than nails and lucky as hell; 

When I shoot
at a body, it's dead. 



Bring me a barrel of whiskey, 

A
barrel of good old Three Star, 

A handful of tacks for a chaser, 

And a light for this lousy cigar. 



Who told you you were tough?


Why, you couldn't frighten a baby! 

So, cut out this stunt, you
poor little runt, 

Before I forget I'm a lady! 



I'm
Dangerous Nan, the sister of Dan McGrew, 

Believe it or not, 

My
father and brother were tough, 

But I'm the toughest one of the lot. 



I'm dangerous Nan McGrew,
