Blue Cheer Lester The Arrester Lyrics

Lester The Arrester Lyrics

(Ralph Burns Kellogg)



When Lester was a little bitty baby



Mama told him, "son,



Never be kind to strangers 



And always carry a gun."



And Lester vowed to make her proud



Until the day he died



He had her name tattooed on his arm



To show the world his pride.











Lester the Arrester



Riding in the sky



Lester the Arrester



Will you never die



Late at night when the moon is bright



The same old ghost goes riding by.











Lester always loved his work, no Lester wasn't soft



He loved upholding law so much he never took time off



Late one night he got a call to go to the edge of town



A prowler was reported off of the graveyard on the shroud.











Lester the Arrester



Found the Devil in disguise



The Devil said to Lester,



"You can take your prize



I've watched you for quite some time



And I'm sure you're my kind of man."











The Devil turned to Lester in a greasy cloud of smoke



He laughed out loud and



Oh, what fun it was to play this kind of joke (HA HA HA HA)



Lester became immortal and more famous than most



He rides the sky forever as a legend



There he goes.











Lester the Arrester



Riding in the sky



Lester the Arrester



Will you never die



Late at night when the moon is bright



The same old ghost goes riding by.











Oh, Lester (by-by-by-by-by) the Arrester



He's the legendary law, He's the legendary law



Lester the Arrester goes riding by



The ghost of Lester ain't a-never, never, never, never



Ever, ever gonna die, die, die



Oooohh Right!
