Lyrics
Louie Louie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And now the news
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
The communist world is fallin' apart
The capitalists are just breakin' hearts
Money is the reason to be
It makes me just want to sing Louie Louie
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
A fine little girl is waitin' for me
But I'm as bent as Dostoevsky
I think about the meaning of my life again
And I have to sing Louie Louie again
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go
Let's give it to 'em right now
Oh man, I dunno like, health insurance
The homeless and world peace and aids and education
I'm tryin' to do right
But hey
Life after Bush and Gorbachev
The wall is down but something is lost
Turn on the news it looks like a movie
It makes me want to sing Louie Louie
Louie Louie
Oh baby I gotta go, let's go
