Lyrics for Danny Rose

Yeah Danny Rose stole an automobile Danny Rose really oughtn't to steal Fighting and stealing That's how my Danny rose Shouting his name so everybody knows He was a dare Danny Rose Yeah Danny glowed, thought he'd go it alone Danny goes with his gun and his chrome Shooting and stealing That's how my Danny grows Shouting his fame so everybody knows He was a rare Danny Rose Yeah Danny Rose, they say they'll get you Hang up your clothes, people pay to inspect you Saying here is the bloodstained jacket he wore This is his original gown Never been shown by the public before Danny Rose stole an automobile That Danny Rose really oughtn't to steal He hit the roadblock, they saw him explode No one could save him but how my Danny glowed Till early morning Rare Danny, rare Danny, rare Danny, rare Danny Please say a prayer for Danny Rose
