The Velvet Underground "Louise" lyrics

Louise

Louise, take it all back to townAin't it a shame you're too old to get aroundBut everybody knows you used to dance the hoochy cooJust can't shake it like you used to doLouise

Louise, you used to work so hardNo one could compareAlways used to build a houseThey came from everywhere

Men would screamThe ladies faintThe childrens weren't allowedNo one on another bill could ever draw a crowd

That was a long time agoHow you keep it up, I just don't know

Louise, take it all back to townAin't it a shame you're too old to get aroundBut everybody knows you used to dance the hoochy cooJust can't shake it like you used to doLouise, Louise

Younger girls keep coming up, anxious for a chanceThey've all been to college, got degrees in modern danceThings keep getting rougher nowWhere they once was slickOld routines are getting tiredTassels just don't stick

That was a long time agoHow you keep it up, I just don't know

Louise, take it all back in townAin't it a shame you're too old to get aroundBut everybody knows you used to dance the hoochy cooJust can't shake it like you used to doLouise, Louise

Louise

OohIt's so very hardEvery day slips awayAway, away
