I know a gal by the name of Mae Lou She shook it so much she had the German flu (chorus:) No matter how she done it, No matter how she done it, No matter how she done it, She done it just the same The women don't like her, they call her Ida Mae But the way the men love her is a cryin' shame (chorus) I tell you people what she done She made a hit with Jack the Ripper, and the only one (chorus) You women don't have to worry 'bout your life She made Jack the Ripper throw away his knife (chorus) She shakes all over when she walks She made a blind man see, and a dumb man talk (chorus) The copper brought her in, she didn't need no bail She shook it for the judge, and put the cop in jail (chorus)
