Two heroes (Peter Case/LeRoy Marinell) in a five story walk up Hollywood dump lived a fighter from Kentucky who couldn't take a punch Albert Jackson's his name of Louisville with his lady Francine who was paying the bills he got out of the fight game while he still had his wits nobody noticed when he called it quits nights Albert walked to the corner for beer an eight battery box blastin loud in his ear two heroes are better than one what justice under the sun? one with a Bible one with a gun these days two heroes are better than one two teenage girls lived a couple floors down roomin' with a stranger who just got to town one night about eight the gals walked out the door and a carload of toughs thought they'd just found a score they pulled along side a guy jumped out with a knife said "give me your money or you'll pay with your life" the girls were so frightened they couldn't move time ran backward no one knew what to do two heroes are better than one what justice under the sun? one with a Bible one with a gun these days two heroes are better than one no one saw Albert coming back from the store he took a quick look he didn't need to see more he lifted his box cracked that dude on the head who sank to the pavement with his hair turning red o yeah! o yeah? yeah inst. Albert beats it inside after giving the hit the carload of guys grab their friend then split but not before the stranger who blew into town comes out waving a pistol and fires a round everybody vanishes like alacazam and when the cops show up they're happy as clams shots are reported there's blood on the ground someone dropped a dime and now there's no one around two heroes are better than one what justice under the sun? you might think it's over but it's hardly begun these days two heroes are better than one the paddy wagon comes and they fill it like this: a guy in pajamas takes his dog for a piss he's first to go but hold the cigar here comes a neighbor out moving his car pretty soon suspects 3 4 5 and 6 are all wearing cuffs and taking their licks an anonymous source says now they know the one it's the black dude on the fifth floor who fired the gun now the swat team arrives and they start to climb taking the stairs 3 at a time up to the fifth floor where I hear this sound: "Albert open the door or we're knocking it down" now Albert's inside and he's all in a rush to get his pot from the platter to the bowl for a flush they kick down his door put his head in a lock and choke hold drag him to the lobby knock knock o yeah o yeah yeah inst. and just as they're about to pull away for the jail here comes the pale stranger with the girls on his tail he confesses "it was me--I fired the shots these are my girls--I'm just protecting the tots I'm here from Arizona--hiding out--on the lam on the run--a convict--escaped from the slam I feel bad for these people--you might think I'm nuts-- it should be me in those chains--I know it down in my guts" two heroes are better than one what justice under the sun? one with a Bible one with a gun these days two heroes are better than one so later on that same night the cops let everyone go except for of course the stars of the show turns out the stranger robbed a bank to finance his flight and the charges gainst Albert well they didn't sound right now the strangers doin' twenty in his previous home the girls are both models and they're living in Rome last I saw of Albert him and Francine were down nursing their bruises and suing the town two heroes are better than one what justice under the sun? one with a Bible one with a gun these days two heroes are better than one.
