Lester The Arrester Lyrics - Blue Cheer

When Lester was a little bitty baby 

Mama told him, "Son, never be kind to strangers 

And always carry a gun" 

And Lester vowed to make her proud 

Until the day he died 

He had her name tattooed on his arm 

To show the world his pride 

Lester the Arrester, riding in the sky 

Lester the Arrester, will you never die 

Late at night when the moon is bright 

The same old ghost goes riding by 

Lester always loved his work, no Lester wasn't soft 

He loved upholding law so much he never took time off 

Late one night he got a call to go to the edge of town 

A prowler was reported off of the graveyard on the shroud 

Lester the Arrester, found the Devil in disguise 

The Devil said to Lester, "You can take your prize 

I've watched you for quite some time 

And I'm sure you're my kind of man." 

The Devil turned to Lester in a greasy cloud of smoke 

He laughed out loud and 

Oh, what fun it was to play this kind of joke 

(Ha ha ha ha) 

Lester became immortal and more famous than most 

He rides the sky forever as a legend, there he goes 

Lester the Arrester, riding in the sky 

Lester the Arrester, will you never die 

Late at night when the moon is bright 

The same old ghost goes riding by 

Oh, Lester 

(By-by-by-by-by) 

The Arrester 

He's the legendary law, he's the legendary law 

Lester the Arrester goes riding by 

The ghost of Lester ain't a-never, never, never, never 

Ever, ever gonna die, die, die, ooohh right
