I STOLE BACK THE GAL

(Harry Roy, Bill Currie, Ivor Moreton)


As recorded by:
Harry Roy & His Orchestra
V. Harry Roy, Bill Currie, Ivor Moreton
Recorded 4th January 1934



What a break for me
I’m in clover can’t you see
On the clouds I’m walkin’
Got the whole town talkin’
The other fellas say
I’m as lucky as can be
‘Cos this is what happened to me

I stole back the girl who was stolen from me
Who I stole from someone who stole her from me
I said hi-de-hi, I looked lo-de-lo
Now that she’s come back I’ll not let her go
Now I’m fallin’ for the girl who was stolen from me
Who I stole from someone who stole her from me
She hasn’t improved much while she’s been gone
And I bought the diamond that she has on
So I stole back the girl who was stolen from me
Who I stole from someone who stole her from me
