Brian Setzer Orchestra - Hey, Louis Prima lyrics

written by B. Setzer

Hey, Louis Prima

We gotta get the hell outta town

'Cause I've been datin' a chick with some swively hips

And her boyfriend don't want me around

And wouldn't it be kinda funny

If we got outta town with all the money

Hey, Louis Prima

You sure know how to lay it on down

We were doin' all-nighters

Cruisin' to a gig in Vegas

Don't know what was goin' on

But it surely did become contagious!

When we pulled up to the show

Ten thousand people or more all yelled out

"Man your band is truly outrageous!"

Hey, Louis Prima

Man, you make 'em jump and shout

I got a five-dollar bet on a two-dollar bill

You're gonna show 'em what it's all about

And wouldn't it be kinda funny

If we got outta town with all the money

Hey, Louis Prima

You sure know how to lay it on down

Hey, Louis Prima

There's something that I just gotta know

Have you still got that old black magic

Or are you just a gigolo?

All we need is some Sam Butera

Then we can say "Buona Sera"

Hey, Louis Prima

You sure know how to lay it on down
