They call the lady Louisville Lou
Oh what that vampin' baby can do
She is the most heart breakinest
Shimmy shakinest that the world ever new
Shes got the kind of lovin' that holdsem
Big black eyes and she rolls em
What lips, them pips
And no more conscience than a snake has hips

And when she strutts her feathers and plumes
The fellas drops their mops and their brooms
You better see them trailing her
And inhaling her perfume
And an old black jaw who is old and bent
Sold his crutches just to pay her rent
Brother, here's my warning to you
Keep away from Louisville Lou
