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!)
