Now, I was standing in the shower
It was somewhere 'round the hour of 5 PM
Lord, I had just stepped in
To wash away all the dirt from a hard day's work
I was soaking up and scrubbing
Standing naked in the tub when that old phone rang
I grabbed a towel and sprang
Then I went running down the hall to receive that call
And I said, "Hey Louella, is that you on the line?"
She said, "Yeah, big fella. How's that man of mine?"
And I said, "Hey Louella, been thinking 'bout you all day, hon'
I'll be around a little later if you think you'd like to cater
To a hot loving son-of-a-gun"
I went and shaved off all the gristle
I was cleaner than a whistle when I got done
Lord, I felt like someone
I was ready in my suit and my new black boots
When I got to my Louella
I had tender things to tell her that I felt inside
I looked into her eyes
I held her close as we could get then I took a breath
And I said, "Hey Louella, I'm all hung up on you"
And she said, "Yeah, big fella. I feel the same way too."
Then I said, "Hey Louella, let's burn a bridge or two tonight
What say we take a step together, it might lead us to forever
There's no telling what might come in sight
And I said, "Hey Louella
Oh, hey Louella
Hey Louella
Hey Louella
Hey Louella
Hey Louella
Hey Louella..."
