The Lone Teen Ranger

ŠPaul Simon, released on Single 1962, performed in the band "Tico & the Triumphs"

.

Ba ba ba... ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba...

Hi, ho, Silver, away

.

Ba ba ba... ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba...

Hey, but the Lone Teen Ranger

.

Oh, he rides around on a big white horse

He's as cool as he can be

And my baby fell in love with him

When she saw him on TV

And since that day, I'm sorry to say

She hasn't had time for me

'Cause he goes "bang, bang" [gun shot]

He's the Lone Teen Ranger

.

Ba ba ba... ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba...

Hi, ho, Silver, away

.

Ba ba ba... ba-ba ba-ba ba-ba...

Hey, but the Lone Teen Ranger

.

To save my soul I can't get a date

And you know who's to blame

Since the Lone Teen Ranger came around

My girlfriend's not the same

She even kissed the TV set

Oh it's a crying shame

'Cause he goes "bang, bang" [gun shot]

He's the Lone Teen Ranger

.

Ha! Pony!

Ride! Ride!

.

Every night at eight o'clock, she turns on the TV

The Lone Teen Ranger stole my girl

(She's got no time for me)

.

Well, he better watch out, 'cause I'm getting' mad

And here's what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna wear a mask and ride a horse and carry a six-gun too

And when my baby looks at me, she's gonna love me too

'Cause I'll go "bang, bang" [gun shot]

He's the Lone Teen Ranger

.

Hi, ho, Silver, there he goes! He's the Lone Teen Ranger! [repeat and fade]

.

(Who was that masked man? You don't know? That's the Lone Teen Ranger!)
