There's a rumor going round it's all over town
Somethin' really heavy's done went down
Long legged Betty's trickin' out her clothes

Puttin' on her makeup and her pantyhose
There's full moon Freddie he's a gettin' ready
The moon is really shinin' bright
But Shorty ain't around he's nowhere to be found
He's usually here by this time of night
Yeh, he's long gone; Shorty's long gone
He ain't comin' back and he ain't goin' home
He's long gone; Shorty's long gone
He ain't around here he just disappeared
And now he's gone ya'll
Full moon Freddie loved long legged Betty
Wasn't nuthin' ever come between 'em
He gave the girl everything she wanted
And treated Betty just like his queen ya'll
But Freddie caught Betty makin' eyes at Shorty
And didn't like what he saw
But Betty had style and the lure of her smile
Was drivin' little Shorty up the wall
Yeh, he's long gone; Shorty's long gone
He ain't comin' back and he ain't goin' home
He's long gone; Shorty's long gone
He ain't around here he just disappeared
Now he's gone
No sense in looking for Shorty he ain't around awe
No sense in looking for Shorty he can't be found no no
Yeh, he's long gone; Shorty's long gone
He ain't comin' back and he ain't goin' home
He's long gone; Shorty's long gone
He ain't around here he just disappeared
He's long gone; Shorty's long gone
He ain't comin' back and he ain't goin' home
He's long gone; Shorty's long gone
He ain't around here he just disappeared
Now he's gone ya'll
No sense in looking for Shorty he ain't around naw
No sense in looking for Shorty he's done left town ya'll
Shorty's long gone
