Lester The Arrester Songtext

When Lester was a little bitty babyMama told him, "son,Never be kind to strangersAnd always carry a gun."And Lester vowed to make her proudUntil the day he diedHe had her name tattooed on his armTo show the world his pride.Lester the ArresterRiding in the skyLester the ArresterWill you never dieLate at night when the moon is brightThe same old ghost goes riding by.Lester always loved his work, no Lester wasn't softHe loved upholding law so much he never took time offLate one night he got a call to go to the edge of townA prowler was reported off of the graveyard on the shroud.Lester the ArresterFound the Devil in disguiseThe Devil said to Lester,"You can take your prizeI've watched you for quite some timeAnd I'm sure you're my kind of man."The Devil turned to Lester in a greasy cloud of smokeHe laughed out loud andOh, what fun it was to play this kind of joke (HA HA HA HA)Lester became immortal and more famous than mostHe rides the sky foreevr as a legendThere he goes.Lester the ArresterRiding in the skyLester the ArresterWill you never dieLate at night when the moon is brightThe same old ghost goes riding by.Oh, Lester (by-by-by-by-by) the ArresterHe's the legendary law, He's the legendary lawLester the Arrester goes riding byThe ghost of Lester ain't a-never, never, never, neverEver, ever gonna die, die, dieOooohh Right!
