The Velvet Underground - Louise lyrics

[Chorus 1] Louise, take it all back to town Ain't it a shame you're too old to get around But everybody knows you used to dance the hoochy coo Just can't shake it like you used to do Louise [Verse 1] Louise, you used to work so hard No one could compare Always used to build a house They came from everywhere Men would scream The ladies faint The childrens weren't allowed No one on another bill could ever draw a crowd [Chorus 2] That was a long time ago How you keep it up I just don't know [Chorus 1] Louise, take it all back to town Ain't it a shame you're too old to get around But everybody knows you used to dance the hoochy coo Just can't shake it like you used to do Louise, Louise [Verse 2] Younger girls keep coming up, anxious for a chance They've all been to college, got degrees in modern dance Things keep getting rougher now Where they once was slick Old routines are getting tired Ta**els just don't stick [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] [Outro] Ooh It's so very hard Every day slips away Away, away
