Lyrics

[00:19] When Mrs. O'Leary's cow
[00:23] Kicked the lantern in Chicago town
[00:29] They say that started the fire
[00:32] That burned Chicago down
[00:38] That's the story that went around
[00:43] But here's the real low-down
[00:48] Put the blame on Mame, boys
[00:52] Put the blame on Mame
[00:56] Mame kissed a buyer from out of town
[01:00] That kiss burned Chicago down
[01:04] So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
[01:10] Put the blame on Mame
[01:15] Remember the blizzard, back
[01:17] in ManhattanIn eighteen-eighty-six
[01:23] They say that traffic was tied up
[01:27] And folks were in a fix
[01:33] That's the story that went around
[01:37] But here's the real low-down
[01:42] Put the blame on Mame, boys
[01:46] Put the blame on Mame
[01:51] Mame gave a chump such an ice-cold "No"
[01:55] For seven days they shovelled snow
[01:59] So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
[02:04] Put the blame on Mame
