- Subject: Lyrics to "Louie Louie" as in Bloom County
-
- Okay, you asked for it! Here are the parody lyrics to "Louie
- Louie" as printed in Bloom County (in the compilation "Night of the
- Mary Kay Commandos" - it's a color Sunday strip). Enjoy!
-
- CAMPAIGN SPECIAL
-
- On September 10th, each of the presidential campaigns was
- given a recording of the Kingsmen's 1963 classic party song, "Louie
- Louie". Each candidate was asked to do his best at deciphering the
- totally indecipherable lyrics. We found the results veeeery
- revealing. Below are the actual lyrics as written by R. Berry in
- 1955:
- Louie Louie, me gotta go
- Louie Louie, me gotta go
- Fine little girl she waits for me
- Me catch the ship for cross the sea
- Me sail the ship all alone
- Me never thinks me make it home
- (chorus)
- Three nights and days me sail the sea
- Me think of girl constantly
- On the ship I dream she there
- I smell the rose in her hair
- (chorus, guitar solo)
- Me see Jamaica moon above
- It won't be long, me see my love
- I take her in my arms and then
- Me tell her I never leave again
-
- [Editors Note. The lyrics are also reprinted in _The Straight Dope_
- by Cecil Adams on page 317. --TWC]

- The lyrics to "Louie Louie" as heard by Michael Dukakis:
-
- Louie oo-i, we go go
- Louie oo-i, we go go
- If I lip curl away afro bee
- Catsup (expletive) cross from me
- Me sail ship o' state all alone
- Mar-aschino cherries at home
- (chorus)
- Greek mice he fail to see
- Need more tax, oh frequently
- Kitty she lead me ev'rywhere <---- AHA!
- Ring in my-a nose, falafel hair
- (chorus, etc)
-
- ...As heard by George Bush:
-
- Louie Lou-i, Winne-bago
- Louie Lou-i, Winne-bago
- The wimp thing no no me
- Me catch shrapnel o'er sea
- Me toss Ann Richards a bone
- Meaner stinks meat bake it cone <--- ?
- (chorus, garbled stanza)
- Mes-sy Paul Anka moons a dove <--- Must mean something! ed.
- Ted Kennedy along, me like to shove
- Take Bent-sen and qualms begin
- Iran-Contra thing makes me phlegm
- (chorus)
-
- ...As heard by Bill D. Cat:
-
- Louie Lou-i, ne ga go <--- reveals a simple honesty
- Louie Lou-i, ne ga go
- Ee fi li curl way fra nee <--- reveals a simple honesty
- Ee cat-ta shi fo kra-see
- Ne sait a shi auuuu lome

- That's it. I hope this was entertaining. All the arrows and stuff in
- parentheses is in the original strip, including the part that says
- "expletive". Too bad Bloom County ended though.. I like it better
- than "Outland".
