"I want a Cadillac car, a beautiful home
But he had a run in with little Lucy then
Though she may look frail
They found our hero in the gutter
I don't want to land in jail
Say excuse me, Lucy
Watch out for Lucy
Believe me, that ain't no joke
He'd like to find a girl and get comfortable
Though she may look frail
Though she may look frail
Though she may look frail
And a thousand dollar ring"
Well, the trap was sprung for poor old Bill
We never did succeed
He would spend all his money on a Friday night
His heart upon his sleeve
Wake up in the morning broke
He'd done it for the love of Lucy
Darling, don't you use me
Darling, don't you use me
And ended up on the run
Say excuse me, Lucy
Say excuse me, Lucy
You should have heard little Lucy sing
When his working day was done
So now in walks Bill with his cash in his hand
Watch out for Lucy
I don't want to land in jail
But she couldn't be satisfied
Darling, don't you use me
Say excuse me, Lucy
Darling, don't you use me
We tried to warn him about her ways
Picking money up on the side
With a diamond ring and a gun
Watch out for Lucy
Watch out for Lucy
She started out working in a cafe
She was free and easy, everybody's friend
I don't want to land in jail
