They call the lady Louisville Lou
Oh, what that vampin’ baby can do
She is the most heart-breakinest
Shimmy shakin’est gal you ever knew
She’s got the kind of love that holds ‘em
Big, black eyes and she rolls ‘em
Hot lips, that are pips
And no more conscience than a snake has hips
And when she shakes her feathers and plumes
The porters drop their mops and their brooms
Why you can see them trailin’ her
Inhalin’ her perfumes
And even Diggin' Joes who are old and bent
Sold her crutches just to pay her rent
So, buddy here’s my warnin’ to you
Stay away from Louisville Lou
And when she shakes her feathers and plumes
The porters drop their mops and their brooms
Why you can see them trailin’ her
Inhalin’ her perfumes
And even Diggin' Joes who are old and bent
Sold her crutches just to pay her rent
So, buddy here’s my warnin’ to you
Stay away from Louisville
I mean Louisville, Louisville Lou
Oh, what that vampin’ baby can do
She is the most heart-breakinest
Shimmy shakin’est gal you ever knew
She’s got the kind of love that holds ‘em
Big, black eyes and she rolls ‘em
Hot lips, that are pips
And no more conscience than a snake has hips
And when she shakes her feathers and plumes
The porters drop their mops and their brooms
Why you can see them trailin’ her
Inhalin’ her perfumes
And even Diggin' Joes who are old and bent
Sold her crutches just to pay her rent
So, buddy here’s my warnin’ to you
Stay away from Louisville Lou
And when she shakes her feathers and plumes
The porters drop their mops and their brooms
Why you can see them trailin’ her
Inhalin’ her perfumes
And even Diggin' Joes who are old and bent
Sold her crutches just to pay her rent
So, buddy here’s my warnin’ to you
Stay away from Louisville
I mean Louisville, Louisville Lou
