Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight I've gotta look my best
Lulu's back in town
Gotta get a half a buck somewhere
Gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
Gotta get myself a boutonniere
Lulu's back in town
Bridge
You can tell all my pets
All my Harlem coquettes
Mister Otis regrets
That he won't be around
You can tell the mail man not to call
I ain't comin' home until the fall
And I might not get back home at all
Lulu's back in town, Lulu's back in town
