When they had the earthquake

in San Francisco

Back in nineteen si

They said that old 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

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 putting the blame on

The lady known as Lou

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 did a dance called the

hoochy coo

That's the thing that slew McGrew

So you can put the blame on Mame,

boys

Put

the

blame

on Mame
