You can't beat the devil
No one is as tough as he
Listen to them political people talk
The rest is history
But isn't it funny after all these years
Everybody is still laughing
Not all the time but occasionally
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
I must have had a million reasons to cry
Maybe a million more
The pain, pollution, afraid to die
I was falling to the floor, the floor
I was getting to be hard boiled
Squirrel and snicker with the rest
But old love came to my street
And put the dancing shoes on my feet
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Everybody listen to the tenor man blow
Now you may not believe me
And I don't care a lot
But this is a real life story
As good as soap in mama's pot
When I get to feel like crying
And the tears come to my eyes
Well, I run and put on my dancing shoes
And Lulu and me will dance to paradise
Lulu and me will dance to paradise
Lulu and me will dance to paradise
Lulu and me
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
Hello, Louise
Louise, hello
