There’s great anticipation,

                   E
When Lulu comes to town.

    E
The fellas gather round her,

A-lookin’ like a gang.

Oh Lulu went to go on tour,

    F#
She didn’t have no luck.

    B7
For Lulu had a ton of gear,

                   E
But didn’t have no truck.

   E
So Lulu found a roadie,

    F#
The roadie had a truck,

    B7
But when her drums fell out the back,

                      E
The roadie hollered...(CHORUS)

One day a preacher pitched a tent,

Next to Lulu’s house.

    B7
The holy rollers spoke in tongues,

                          E
When they opened up their mouths.

     E
When Lulu started practicing,

    F#
The preacher gave a yell.

     B7
“The faithful must shut up their ears,

                   E
Or surely go to”...(CHORUS)

Bang, bang d’Lulu, Lulu bangs all day,

B7
Who’s gonna’ bang with Lulu,

B7               E

E
Lulu has two girlfriends,

    F#
And both of them are rich.

B7
One of them’s a debutante,

                    E
And one of them’s a...scientist.

    E
And in a karaoke bar,

F#
The two girlfriends sang.

    B7
But Lulu shrugged her shoulders,

                          E
And said, “All I do is”...(CHORUS)
