Lyrics

Louie Louie

Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go

A fine girl, who waited for me
I catch a ship across the sea
I sailed the ship all alone
I wondered when I'm gonna make it home

Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go

Three nights and days I sailed the sea
I think of the girl constantly
On the ship, I dream she there
I smell the rose that's in her hair

Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go

I see Jamaican moon above
See the girl I'm thinking of
I take her in my arms and then
Say I'll never leave again

Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Louie Louie, oh baby, I gotta go
Oh, I gotta go now
Uh-huh I gotta go
