Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go
Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go
Y'know, my little girl, she's waiting for me
Sail a ship across the sea
On the ship you know I'm all alone
I wonder if I'll ever make it home
Louie Louie, oh no, we gotta go
Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go
Three nights and days I sailed the sea
I think of girls, oh constantly
On the ship, you know I dream that she's there
I smell the roses in her hair
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go
Aye-aye-aye-aye-aye-aye
Louie Louie, oh yeah, we've gotta go
Let's give it to 'em, right now!
I see the Jamaica moon above
I don't know when I'm gonna see my love
I know I'll hold her in my arms and then
I'll tell her that I'll never leave her again
Louie Louie, a-cha-cha-cha-cha
Louie Lou
Oh, no, Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Oh my little girl,
She's waiting for me
I'll sail a ship, across the sea,
On the ship you know
I'm all alone
I wonder when I'm gonna make it home
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Three nights, and days
I sailed the sea
I think you're good, oh constantly
On the ship I know I'll dream she's there
I smell of roses in her hair
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Louie, Louie, oh baby,
We gotta go
Ok! Let's give it to em! Right now!
I see Jamaica
Who'd have thought?
I see the girl I'm, thinkin of
I take her in my arms, and then
Tell her that I'll never leave again
Louie, Louie
Et, et, et, et, et, et
We gotta go
Louie, Louie, oh baby
We gotta go
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
