Put the blame on Mame

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in 1906
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 hichy-coo
That's the thing that slew McGrew
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
