Stay away from Lightning's girl And this part of town Stay away from Lightning's girl Or he'll put you down Here comes Lightning down the street While you just stand there talking If I were you I'd start to move And tell my story walking About a hundred miles an hour! Stay away from Lightning's girl And this part of town Stay away from Lightning's girl Or he'll put you down Stay away from Lightning's g-i-are-l Stay away from Lightning's g-i-are-l Stay away from Lightning's g-i-are-l Stay away from Lightning's g-i-are-l
