  _Sheik..._ Dancing fool
One my leg is shorter than the other both my feet too long

Well, he had a girl, her name was Mary Lou
Well, he had a girl, her name was Mary Lou
She did everything for him that she could do

I'm going to tell you a story about Mary Lou
I mean the kind of girl who make a fool of you

Mary Lou -- she took my watch and chain
Mary Lou -- she took my diamond ring
Mary Lou -- she took my Cadillac car

This is a story of man who lived in Pistoia
