You've heard about Margie
Heard about Dinah
Heard about Susie
Oob do dooba doo doo
Gotta get my old
tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
Tonight I got to look my best
Lulu's back in town
Gotta find a half-a-buck
somewhere
Polish up my shoes
Slick my hair
Get myself a boutonniere
Lulu's back in town
You can tell my pets
My Harlem coquettes
Mr. Otis regrets
He won't be around
You can tell the mailman
not to call
I ain't comin' home
until the fall
Might not get back home at all
Lulu's back in town
Lulu's in town
Not Marie not Emily
Not Dolores
Not Mary-Lou
Not Susie Lora Dinah what

You heard about Margie
Heard about Dinah
Heard about Susie
Oob doo doo doo doo doo
I gotta get my tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
Tonight I got to look my best
for Lulu
I gotta find a few
bucks somewhere
Polish up my shoes
and slick my hair
Gotta get myself
a boutonniere
for Lulu
You can tell my pets
My Harlem coquettes
Mr. Otis regrets
He won't be around
You can tell my friends
