Put the blame on Mame – Rita Hayworth

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco back in 1906,

That’s the story that went around, but here’s the real lowdown.

Put the blame on Mame, boys.
Put the blame on Mame.

One night she started to shim and shake.
That brought on the `Frisco quake.
So you can…

Put the blame on Mame, boys.
Put the blame on Mame.

They once had a shootin’ up in the Klondike when they got Dan McGrew.
Folks were puttin’ the blame on the lady known as Lew.
That’s the story that went around, but here’s the real lowdown.

Put the blame on Mame, boys.
Put the blame on Mame.

Mame did a dance called the Hichy-koo.
That’s the thing that slew McGrew.

Put the blame on Mame, boys.
Put – the – blame – on – Mame.
