Put the blame on Mame

When they had the earthquake 

In San Francisco in 19'6

They said that old Mother Nature 

Was up to her old tricks

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 shot Dan McGrew

Folks were putting the blame 

On a lady known as Lou

That's 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 Hichie-Koo

That's the thing that slew McGrew

So put the blame on Mame, boys

Put the Blame on Mame
