Lyrics

Stay On De Left Hand Side
Words and Music By Gary Lee Morris

I want to tell you a story about my ace boy,and something he?s come now to dread
The most dangerous combination,yes,it?s the tourist and the moped
Well they ride around,and without a sound,they sneak up on you like that
On the right-hand side of the road they plan they?re attack,don?t look back!

Stay on the left-hand side,when you go for that moped ride x2
Stay on the left-hand side,?cause the right side is suicide
Stay on the left-hand side with me

One so-and-so,?bout a week ago,almost caused my poor heart to stop
He was swaying back and forth,to and fro,I thought he was going to flop
When I pulled around,as to pass him by,I?m glad I didn?t look back
On the right-hand side of the road another attack,watch your back!

Stay on the left-hand side,when you go for that moped ride x2
Stay on the left-hand side,?cause the right side is suicide
Stay on the left-hand side with me

See them come ?round the corner said them gonna flop
See them come round the corner,said them can?t stop,stop,Stop!

I was headed back at the end of day to my Bungalow in the hills
When a moped rider confronted me,seemed he was getting his thrills
But you do not mess with the island boy,yes that?s the lesson he learned
When you cross the line to the right-hand side you get burned,you get burned!
