When Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked the lantern |
|
In Chicago town |
|
They say that started the fire |
|
That burned Chicago down |
|
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 kissed a buyer from out of town |
|
That kiss burned Chicago down |
|
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys |
|
Put the blame on Mame |
|
When they had the earthquake in San Francisco |
|
Back in nineteen-six |
|
They said that ol' 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 shimmy-shake |
|
That brought on the Frisco quakes |
|
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys |
|
Put the blame on Mame |
