Lester the Arrester Lyrics

(Ralph Burns Kellogg)

 When Lester was a little bitty baby

 Mama told him, "son,

 Never be kind to strangers 

 And always carry a gun."

 And Lester vowed to make her proud

 Until the day he died

 He had her name tattooed on his arm

 To show the world his pride.

 

 

 Lester the Arrester

 Riding in the sky

 Lester the Arrester

 Will you never die

 Late at night when the moon is bright

 The same old ghost goes riding by.

 

 

 Lester always loved his work, no Lester wasn't soft

 He loved upholding law so much he never took time off

 Late one night he got a call to go to the edge of town

 A prowler was reported off of the graveyard on the shroud.

 

 

 Lester the Arrester

 Found the Devil in disguise

 The Devil said to Lester,

 "You can take your prize

 I've watched you for quite some time

 And I'm sure you're my kind of man."

 

 

 The Devil turned to Lester in a greasy cloud of smoke

 He laughed out loud and

 Oh, what fun it was to play this kind of joke (HA HA HA HA)

 Lester became immortal and more famous than most

 He rides the sky forever as a legend

 There he goes.

 

 

 Lester the Arrester

 Riding in the sky

 Lester the Arrester

 Will you never die

 Late at night when the moon is bright

 The same old ghost goes riding by.

 

 

 Oh, Lester (by-by-by-by-by) the Arrester

 He's the legendary law, He's the legendary law

 Lester the Arrester goes riding by

 The ghost of Lester ain't a-never, never, never, never

 Ever, ever gonna die, die, die

 Oooohh Right!
