Put the Blame on Mame

Put The Blame On Mame (Slow Version) - Rita Hayworth

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

Remember the blizzard back in Manhattan

In eighteen-eighty-six

They say that traffic was tied up

And folks were in a fix

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 gave a chump such an ice-cold "No"

For seven days they shovelled snow

So you can put the blame on Mame boys

Put the blame on Mame
