our presence is requested, wrote little Johnny White, |
|
But with this invitation, there is a stipulation. |
|
When you attend this party, you'll all be treated right, |
|
But there's a wild and wooly woman you boys can't invite. |
|
You can bring Pearl, she's a darn nice girl, |
|
But don't bring Lulu! |
|
You can bring Rose with the turned-up nose, |
|
But don't bring Lulu! |
|
Lulu always wants to do |
|
What the folks don't want her to. |
|
When she struts her stuff around, |
|
London bridge is falling down! |
|
You can bring cake or a porterhouse steak, |
|
Murray Billy |
|
But don't bring Lulu! |
|
Lulu gets blue and goes cuckoo |
|
Like the clock upon the shelf. |
|
She's the kind of smarty breaks up every party, |
|
Hullabaloo loo, don't bring Lulu, |
|
I'll bring her myself! |
|
Last week we had a party, a real high-toned affair, |
|
And then along came Lulu, wild as any Zulu. |
|
She started in to Charleston, and how the boys did stare, |
|
But when she did the hula-hula, then she got the air. |
|
You can bring Flo, her dad's got dough |
|
But don't bring Lulu! |
|
You can bring Lil, she's an awful pill, |
|
But don't bring Lulu! |
|
Lulu has the reddest hair, auburn here and henna there. |
|
Bulls go wild when they see red. |
|
You can bring peas and crackers and cheese, |
|
But don't bring Lulu! |
|
When she gets sore and slams the door |
|
The plates fly off the shelf. |
|
She can make a feller wild on sarsaperilla. |
|
Hullabaloo loo, don't bring Lulu, |
|
She'll come here herself. |
|
You can bring ham and crackers and jam |
|
But don't bring Lulu! |
|
Lulu goes wild, and when she's wild |
|
She climbs upon the shelf! |
|
She can make a pastor be a dancing master. |
|
Hullabaloo-loo, don't bring Lulu, |
|
I'll bring her myself! |
