LULU'S BACK IN TOWN - LYRICS
----------------------------------------
Music by Harry Warren, lyrics Al Dubin
Published 1935


I 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

-------------------------
ABOUT THIS TRACK

First performed in the 1935 film Broadway Gondolier, directed by Lloyd Bacon, where it was sung by Dick Powell and The Mills Brothers.

Others who recorded it include Dick Powell, Mel Tormé, Mills Brothers, Wingy Manone, Chick Bullock, Bob Howard, Teddy Hill, Bert Ambrose, Ted Fiorito, Thelonious Monk, Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, and Leon Redbone.

You can tell all my pets
All my Harlem coquettes
Mister Otis regrets
That he won't be aroun'

You can tell the mailman 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
