Louie Louie, me gotta go now
Louie Louie, me gotta go now
A fine girl, she wait for me.
Me catch the ship across the sea.
Then sailed me ship all alone.
Never think I'll make it home.
Louie Louie, me gotta go now.
Louie Louie, me gotta go now.
Three nights and days we sailed the sea.
Me think of girl constantly.
And on the ship, I dream she' there.
I smell the rose in her hair.
Louie Louie, me gotta go now
Louie Louie, me gotta go now
-GUITAR SOLO-
-guitar break-
Louie Louie, me gotta go now
Louie Louie, me gotta go now
Me see Jamacan moon above.
It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms again
I tell that I dream her there.
Louie Louie, me gotta go
