Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed, gotta sew a button on my vest, 'cause tonight I've gotta look my best, Lulu's back in town. Gotta get a half a buck somewhere, gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair, Gotta get myself a boutonniere, Lulu's back in town. You can tell all my pets, all my Harlem coquettes, Mister Otis regrets, that he won't be aroun'. You can tell the mailman not to call, I ain't comin' home until the fall And I might not get back home at all... Lulu's back in town.
