Lyrics
A fine little song, like no other One little gem that launched a million covers Three great chords, solid and true The duh duh duh that made my whole world kinda come unglued Penned by Richard Berry back in 1955 Started life as an unassuming cha-cha-esque Flip side Picked up in the northwest several years later Covered by the Kingsmen and the Sonics and the Raiders I love Louie Louie, I love Louie Louie, I Love Louie Louie Ah ah ah, ah ah Ah ah ah, ah ah Trashy and catchy and cool and man it really sold Couple of takes to one track alright sonic gold Sing it from the mountain tops shout it every day It should be the national anthem of the USA Better than the Beatles yeah yeah I know that's sacrilegious But I just calls 'em like I see 'em hey listen, listen, listen Rock and Roll will never die, believe me it will stand Long as people stomp their feet and shout and clap their hands, And sing I love Louie Louie, I love Louie Louie, I Love Louie Louie Ah ah ah, ah ah Ah ah ah, ah ah Ah ah ah, ah ah Ah ah ah, ah ah Okay, let's give it to 'em right now! Okay, let's give it to 'em right now! Okay, let's give it to 'em right now! Okay, let's give it to 'em right now! The F.B.I. took it apart to see what made it tick J. Edgar was on the case, boy was he a prick Investigated by congress but they could not decipher They feared what they couldn't understand this proto punk pied piper The G-men felt it's power, but they could not subscribe At 78, 33, 16 or 45. They knew it was something filthy, communist or worse Unintelligible at any speed, satanic and perverse Whatever it was they hated might be the thing we love Raw and unsanitized, unmanaged and unscrubbed Little slice of rock and roll to hit you upside your head You know it, you love it! Let's go! Yeah, go ahead and sing I love Louie Louie, I love Louie Louie, I Love Louie Louie Ah ah ah, ah ah Ah ah ah, ah ah Ah ah ah, ah ah Ah ah ah Let's Go!
