Verse 1:

Am                    Bm7     E7
Where's that careless chamber maid
Am                 Bm7   E7
Where'd she put my razor blade
C       D7      G7    C
She mis-laid it I'm a-fraid
Dm7           E7
It's gotta be foun'

Am               Bm7        E7
Ask her when she cleaned my room
Am                Bm7    E7
What she did with my per-fume
  G          Gdim
I just can't lose it
     G     E7
I've gotta use it
      A7     D7      G7  GdimG7
Cause Lulu's back in town

Chorus 1:

C            D7      G7   C
Gotta get my old tux-e-do pressed
C           D7      G7    C
Gotta sew a but-ton on my vest
C7       F          Fm    C    CM7A7
Cause to-night I've gotta look my best
D7     Dm7  G7     CG7
Lulu's back in town

C           D7     G7        C
Gotta get a half a buck some where
C              D7        G7       C
Gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
C7    F      Fm     C      CM7  A7
Gotta get my-self a bouton-niere
D7     Dm7  G7     CC7
Lulu's back in town

You can tell the mail-man not to call

I ain't comin' home un-til the fall

And I might not get back home at all

Best complaint I ever had
C        D7       G7     C
We'll be steppin' out to-night
Dm7               E7
And struttin' and how

Am               Bm7      E7
We're in for the swellest time
Am             Bm7   E7
Finish up with-out a dime
    G             D7
Now look here you fellas
