Lyrics
They call the lady "Louisville Lou"
And what that vampin' baby can't do
Why, she's the most heartbreakin'est
The shimmy-shakin'est gal you ever knew
She's got the kind of lovin' that holds 'em
Big brown 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 'em trailing her
Inhaling her perfumes
And even Deacon Jones, who was old and bent
Sold his crutches just to pay her rent
So, buddy, here's my warning to you
Stay away from Louisville Lou
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 'em trailing her
Inhaling her perfumes
And even Deacon Jones, who was old and bent
Sold his crutches just to pay her rent
So, buddy, here's my warning to you
Stay away from Louisville, I mean Louisville
Louisville Lou
