Louie Louie
The Kingsmen

(Richard Berry)

[Cowbell, keyboard intro, 4 measure wait, then]

     Louie Louie, oh no, I said we gotta go
     Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go

A fine little girl, she wait for me
Me catch the ship across the sea
I sailed the ship all alone
I never think I'll make it home

     Louie Louie, oh no, I said we gotta go
     Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go

Three nights and days we sailed the sea
Me think of girls constantly 
On the ship I dream she there 
I smell the rose in her hair

     Louie Louie, oh no, I said we gotta go
     Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go

[Guitar solo]

Me see Jamaican moon above
It won't be long me see me love
Me take her in my arms and then I tell her
I never, ever leave again

     Louie Louie, oh no, I said we gotta go
     Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go

[cut to drums]
     Louie Louie, oh no, I said we gotta go
     Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go

[everybody]
     Louie Louie, oh no me gotta go
     Louie Louie, oh no me gotta go

     We gotta go now
     We gotta go now
     I said we gotta go NOW
     Let's go!
