As sung by the wonderful Julie Wilson in the MGM film "This Could Be the Night" SADIE GREEN - THE VAMP OF NEW ORLEANS Sadie Green, the vamp of New Orleans Has more beaus than the Navy has Marines When she starts to shake her hips Captain, captain, sink your ships, When she starts to vamp, oh gosh, Mama burn my mackintosh! Since this vamping baby came to town She's turned everything right upside down Oh boy, full of speed, what she hasn't got she doesn't need What a queen, Sadie Green, The vamp of New Orleans. Sadie Green, the vamp of New Orleans Has more beaus than Boston has baked beans. When she starts to dance, oh gee, Mama pin a rose on me She make bald men tear their hair Hold 'er Newt, don't let her rare! (rear?) Since this vamping baby came to town She's turned everything right upside down Oh boy;, what a catch, she's got big brown eyes and feet to match, What a queen, Sadie Green, the vamp of New Orleans.
