Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight I've gotta look my best
Lulu's back in town

Gotta get a half a buck somewhere
Gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
Gotta get myself a boutonniere
Lulu's back in town

You can tell all my pets
All those blondes and brunettes
Mister Otis regrets
That he won't be aroun'

Now, you can tell the mailman not to call
I ain't comin' home until the fall
And I might not get back home at all
Lulu's back in town

You heard about Margie
You heard about Dinah
You heard about Susie
But Lulu

I gotta get my tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight I've gotta look my best
For Lulu

I gotta get a half a buck somewhere
Gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
Gotta get myself a boutonniere
For Lulu

You can tell all my pets
All those blondes and those brunettes
That mister Otis regrets
That he won't be aroun'

You can tell the mailman not to call
I ain't comin' home until the fall
And I might not get back home at all
For Lulu, she's back in town
