Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, why in the Devil did you tell Louella
Everything you know?
She's got a great big mouth, and she'll talk about you
Everywhere she goes
[Verse 2]
She'll talk about your man
She'll talk about his wife
And now they're after you
With a butcher knife
[Verse 3]
Oh, Louella
A-Louella
[Verse 4]
Well, telegram, telephone
Tell Louella, everybody knows
If you tell Louella, you might as well
Put it on the radio
[Verse 5]
She'll spread the story around
She's very indiscreet
She'll put your private life
Out in the street
[Verse 6]
Oh, Louella
Big-mouth Louella
[Verse 7]
Well, I told you once, I told you twice
You wouldn't listen to me
You got together with big-mouth Louella
And you told her everything
[Verse 8]
The cat's out of the bag
Yeah, you spilled the beans
You should have locked your lips
And thrown away the key
[Verse 9]
Yeah, Louella
Oh, Louella
[Verse 10]
Well, why in the Devil did you tell Louella
Everything you know?
Didn't everybody try to tell you better?
Think before you spoke
[Verse 11]
You talk about your friends
Now they won't talk to you
And you're sitting all alone
Well, what you gonna do?
[Verse 12]
Oh, Louella
Big-mouth Louella
Yeah, Louella
Yeah, Louella
