Dave Brubeck › Lyrics › Lulu's Back in Town

Gotta get my old Tuxedo pressed
I gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight, I've gotta look my best
Lulu's back in town

Gotta find a half a buck somewhere
I gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
I gotta get myself a boutonniere
'Cause Lulu's back in town

Now you can tell all my pets
All my Harlem coquettes
Mister Otis regrets
But he won't be aroun'

You can tell the mailman not to call
'Cause I ain't comin' home until the fall
I may not get back home at all
'Cause Lulu's back in town

You can tell all my pets
All my Harlem coquettes
Mister Otis regrets
But he won't be around

You can tell the mailman not to call
'Cause I ain't comin' home until the fall
I may not get back home at all
'Cause Lulu's back in town

Yes, I may not get back home at all
'Cause Lulu's back in town
