Was a pretty girl ...
Had every single one of 'em playin' the fool
She was just as cool as a summertime pool
One boy said, "Sound the alarm!
I'm gonna have that one on my arm!"
Every one tried ...
They all lined up and they took their turn
Every single one of 'em crashed and burned
One boy said, "Sound the alarm!
I'm gonna have that one on my arm!"
And they all laughed, "Oh! No! You should see her go!
The girl's too fast and you're just too slow!
Ain't nobody even ever come close yet!"
He just smiled ... "Anybody wanna bet?"
They all said ...
She's just a tease, just strings 'em along
Says, "No" to the strong, just doesn't belong
Boy said to himself, "Sound the alarm!
I'm gonna have that one on my arm!"
Listened to her ...
Wrote a couple notes and he talked to her friends
Took his sweet time with some paper and a pen
Soon it's time, "Sound the alarm!
I'm gonna have that one on my arm!"
And they all laughed, "Oh! No! You should see her go!
The girl's too fast and you're just too slow!
Ain't nobody even ever come close yet!"
He just smiled ... "Anybody wanna bet?"
Was a boy and a girl ...
Walked through the door standin' hand in hand
Everybody hushed, even stopped the band
Somebody said, "Sound the alarm!
I ain’t never seen her on anybody's arm!"
And the pretty girl ...
“Every one of you busy tryin' to have your taste!
Never even asked if I want to be chased!
Tonight it's time! Sound the alarm!
Now you all seen her on somebody's arm!"
And the girl laughed, "Oh! No! You should see her go!
The girl's too fast and you're just too slow!
You were all right! Yeah the chances were slim ...
He couldn't catch me, but I can catch him!"
And the boy laughed, "Oh! No! You should see her go!
The girl's too fast and you're just too slow!
Ain't nobody even ever come close yet!"
He just smiled ... "Anybody wanna bet?"
And they both laughed, "Oh! No! You should see her go!
The girl's too fast and you're just too slow!
Nobody listened, too blind to see
Don’t have to catch her if she comes to me!”
