Put the blame on Mame lyrics

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco

Back in nineteen-six;

They said that Mother Nature

Was up to her old tricks.

That's the story that went around

But here's the real low-down:

Put the blame on Mame, boys.

Put the blame on Mame...

One night she started to shim and shake

That brought on the Frisco quake;

So you can put the blame on Mame, boys.

Put the blame on Mame...

They once had a shootin' up in the Klondike

When they got Dan McGrew.

Folks were putting the blame on

The lady known as Lou.

That's the story that went around

But here's the real low-down:

Put the blame on Mame, boys.

Put the blame on Mame...

Mame did a dance called the hoochy-coo

That's the thing that slew McGrew.

So you can put the blame on Mame, boys.

Put the blame on Mame...
