Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight I've got to look my best
Lulu's back in town
[Verse 2]
Gotta get a half a buck somewhere
Gotta shine my shoes, slick my hair
Gotta get myself a boutonniere
Lulu's back in town
[Verse 3]
You can tell all my pets
All my Harlem coquettes
Mister Otis regrets
That he won't be around
[Verse 4]
You can tell the mailman not to call
I ain't coming home until the fall
And again, I might not get back home at all
Lulu's back in town, yeah
[Verse 5]
Oh, and tell all my pets
All my Harlem coquettes
Mister Waller regrets
But Lulu will see if he can get around, no
[Verse 6]
Tell the mailman not to call
Ain't coming home until the fall
And then again, I might not get home at all
Lulu's back in town
[Verse 7]
Oh, that woman's back in town
Oh my, my, my, my
