Thread Name: ADD: Shout Little Lulie/SHOUT LULA
Subject: Lyr Add: SHOUT LULA (from Grayson & Whitter)
Here is my transcription of the Grayson & Whitter version:

SHOUT LULA

Shout Little Lula, shout, shout
Tell me what you're shoutin' about

[Swing, Lula, swing]
[Whoa –o-o]

How many nickels will it take
To see Little Lula's body shake
Take a nickel, take a dime
See Little Lula's body shine

[Shout Lula]
[Yee-ho-o]
[Shake that thing]
[Swing that gal, Henry]
[Whoa-o-o]

Shout, Little Lula, shout, shout
Tell me what you're shoutin' about

Shout, Little Lula, shout and sing
Your old grandmother's gone to swing

[Whoop that fiddle]

Shout, Little Lula, shout your best
Your old grandmother's gone to rest

[Come on, Lula, swing]
[On my way, somewheres]
[First couple out]
[Swing!]

Shout, Little Lula, shout, shout
Tell me what you're shoutin' about

[Whoa-o-o]
[Swing, Lula, swing]
[Shout Lula]
[Yee-ho-o]
[Say, Henry, when you gonna pass that bottle]
[Reply: 'Bout ten minutes]
['Bout time]

[Shake that thing]

Shout, Little Lula, shout, shout
Tell me what you're shoutin' about

[Whoa-o-o]
[Come on, Lula, shout Lula, shout]

Shout, Little Lula, shout and sing
Your old grandmother's gone to swing
