Romeo's Escape
Alvin, Dave

Yeah...  Yeaaaaaahhh!

Well in a bar in an old town on the bayou I can't see
She made herself about it, took her whole life away
Shows the bar-keep an old photo, sayin'
Have you seen my darlin' Romeo?

There's a big busty blonde in Oklahoma city
Sittin' in front of a mirror tryin' to make herself look pretty
She thinks she's meetin' Romeo at half past eight
Well Romeo left town on a southbound freight

Romeo! Romeo! Where-where for art thou, where did ya go?
You got all these chicks just moanin' low
Well their... Romeo, their little... Romeo!

[Solo 1]  Yeah!

Now when the New York honey she's with her rich boyfriend
and he's tellin' her it's true love, it will never end
And as she braggin' about all the things he's gonna get'er,
All she really wants is Romeo's letter!

Well in Cheyenne Wyoming, deer and antelope roam
And a pretty little cowgirl just a-lonesome stays near home
Some will call it love and some will call it hate
But she ain't never kissed nobody since Romeo escaped!

Romeo! Romeo! Where-where for art thou, where did ya go?
You got all these women just moanin' low
Well their... Romeo, their little... Romeo!

[Solo 2]  Yeah!

Well I was tryin' to kiss my baby, you know the one I love the best
She said hey y'all Dave I gotta get somethin' off my chest
I said, baby what are ya tryin' to say?
She said, I hate to tell ya Dave but Romeo is here today!

Romeo! Romeo! Where-where for art thou, where did ya go?
You got all these women just moanin' low
Well their... Romeo, their little... Romeo!

[Solo 3]

Romeo! Romeo! Where-where for art thou, where did ya go?
You got all these chicks just moanin' low
Well their... Romeo, their little... Romeo!
