Here are the lyrics as sung by The Andrews Sisters : DON'T BRING LULU.


"Your presence is requested," wrote little Johnny White,
"But with this invitation, there is a stipulation.
When you attend this party, you'll all be treated right,
But there's a wild and woolly woman you boys can't invite.

"You can bring Pearl, she's a darn nice girl, but don't bring Lulu,
You can bring Rose with the turned up nose, but don't bring Lulu.
Lulu always wants to do what we boys don't want her to;
When she struts her stuff around, London Bridge is falling down.

"You can bring cake or a porterhouse steak, but don't bring Lulu.
Lulu gets blue and she goes coo-coo, like the clock upon the shelf.
She's the kind of smarty who breaks up every party.
Hullabalooloo, don't bring Lulu. (I'll bring her myself.)"

We all went to the party, a real high-toned affair,
And then along came Lulu, as wild as any Zulu;
She started in to Charleston, and how the boys did stare,
But when she did the hula-hula, then she got the air.

You can bring Nan with the old deadpan, but don't bring Lulu.
You can bring Tess with her "No" and "Yes," but don't bring Lulu.
Lulu has the reddest hair, redder here and redder there;
How can we boys keep our heads? Bulls go wild when they see red!

You can bring peas and crullers and cheese, but don't bring Lulu.
Give her two beers and she tears portieres and she throws cups off the shelf!
When she loves with feeling, the boys all hit the ceiling.
Hullabalooloo, don't bring Lulu, she'll come here herself.
