Put the Blame on Mame [German translation]
Put the Blame on Mame [German translation]
When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in nineteen-six
They said that old Mother Nature
Was up to her old tricks
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down:
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
One night she started to shim and shake
And that brought on the Frisco quake
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
When they had the gold rush, folks started runnin'
To Californ-i-a
They all had dreams of makin'
A million bucks a day
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down:
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
She caused the gold rush, it's my believe
Diggin' gold from some guy's teeth
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
When Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked the lantern
In Chicago town
They say that started the fire
That burned Chicago down
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down:
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame kissed a buyer from out of town
And that kiss burned Chicago down
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
