Lyrics:

They call the lady Louisville Lou
Oh what that vampin' baby can do
She is the most heart-breakinest, shimmy-shakin'est
That the world ever knew
She's got the kind of lovin' that holds 'em
Big black eyes and she rolls 'em
What lips, they're pips
And no more conscience than a snake has hips
And when she struts her feathers and plumes
The porters drop their mops and their brooms
You oughta see them trailin' her, inhalin' her perfume
And even old Black Joe, who is old and bent
Sold his crutches just to pay her rent
Brother, here's my warnin' to you
Keep away from Louisville Lou

Hey Mose?
Yes, Jassbo?
You a Louisville boy, ain't ya?
Yes, I sure am
Well, how's everything there?
Everything's fine, my boy's goin' to school
Goin' to school, eh? What grade is he in now?
Oh, he about the twelfth grade
Is he through with his ABC's?
Yeah man, he's passed that, he's way up there
Other day he come home and uh, guess what he asked me for?
What was that?
Asked me for an encyclopedia
Did you give it to him?
I said, "No, let him walk like I did!"
Ooh wee!
When she struts her feathers and plumes
Porters drop their mops and their brooms
You oughta see them trailin' her, inhalin' her perfume
Even old Black Joe, who is old and bent
Sold his crutches just to pay her rent
Brother, here's my warnin' to you
Keep away from Louisville Lou

Look out for Louisville Lou
