Put the blame on mame

There once was an earthquake

In San Francisco Back in 1906 (or '96 I'm not sure which!)

They said that Old Mother Nature

was up to her old tricks

that's the story that went around

but here's the real lowdown

Put the Blame on Mame Boys

Put the Blame on mame

One night she started to shim and shake

That brought on the 'Frisco quake

So you can, Put the Blame on Mame boys

Put the Blame on Mame

they once had a shooting

up in the Klondike

when they got Dan McGrew

Folks were putting the blame on

a lady known as "Lou"

That's the story that went around

But here's the real lowdown

Put the Blame on mame, boys

Put the Blame on mame mame

did a dance called the "hitchie Koo"

That's the thing that slew McGrew

so you can Put the Blame on mame boys
