When Mrs. O’Leary’s cow kicked the lantern In Chicago town They say that started the fire That burned Chicago down That’s the story that went around But here’s the real low-down Put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame Mame kissed a buyer from out of town That kiss burned Chicago down So you can put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame When they had the earthquake in San Francisco Back in nineteen-six They said that ol’ Mother Nature Was up to her old tricks That’s the story that went around But here’s the real low-down Put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame One night she started to shimmy-shake That brought on the Frisco quakes So you can put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame (Contributed by Bill Huntley - Jauary 2005)
