Bang Bang Lulu

[Verse 1]
You oughta hear that big bell ring
Got a friend in prison with a ball and chain
When you hear that whistle blow
You know somebody got to go

[Chorus]
Bang-bang, Lulu
Don't bang away so strong
What you gon' do for banging
When Lulu dead and gone?

[Verse 2]
Hambone and possum meat's sweet and fine
Gimme that watermelon smilin' on the vine
Sanctified monkey sitting on the moon
Tryna make morning into afternoon

[Chorus]
Bang-bang, Lulu
Don't bang away so strong
I said, what you gon' do for banging
When Lulu dead and gone?

[Verse 3]
Wake up in the evening, do like Kenny Brown
Take a lil' drink of whiskey and lay back down
I like to fuss and fight, and walk the streets all night
Drink from a bottle and bawl in the moonlight

[Chorus]
Bang-bang, Lulu
Don't bang away so strong
What you gon' do for banging
When Lulu dead and gone?

[Verse 4]
Well, your man wants to know does your woman wants to flirt?
She got on clear vinyl hot pants and see-through shirt
Well, you can tease and squeeze as much as you please, baby
I might be white, but I ain't unease

[Chorus]
Bang-bang, Lulu
Don't bang away so strong
What you gon' do for banging, baby
When Lulu dead and gone?

[Bridge]
You oughta hear that big bell ring
Got a friend in prison with a ball and chain
I shut my eyes and hold my breath
The sun's so hot I'd like to have like to froze to death

[Chorus]
Bang-bang, Lulu
Don't bang away so strong, mm
What you gon' do for banging
When Lulu dead and gone?
