Gotta Get My Old Tuxedo Pressed, Gotta Sew A Button On My Vest,

'cause Tonight I've Gotta Look My Best, Lulu's Back In Town.



Gotta Get A Half A Buck Somewhere, Gotta Shine My Shoes And Slick My Hair,

Gotta Get Myself A Boutonniere, Lulu's Back In Town.



You Can Tell All My Pets, All My Harlem Coquettes,

Mister Otis Regrets, That He Won't Be Aroun'.



You Can Tell The Mailman Not To Call, I Ain't Comin' Home Until The Fall

And I Might Not Get Back Home At All... Lulu's Back In Town.
