Subject: ADD: Hook and Line
Here are the Dyke's Magic City Trio lyrics. The recording is mostly instrumental - lengthy instrumental passages between stanzas.
HOOK AND LINE
Gimme the hook and gimme the line
Gimme that girl they call Caroline
Shout, Lula, shout, shout
What in the world are you shoutin' about
I took my hook and give it a flip
Caught that pretty girl by the lip
Shout, Lula, shout, shout
Shout, Little Lula, shout, shout
Shout, Little Lula, shout, shout
Shout, Little Lula, shout, shout
Shout, Little Lula, shout your best
Your grandmother's gone to rest
