Caro Emerald - Pack Up The Louie

Time just flies

The clock rings and it's half past eleven
Can't believe it but the time just flies
Soon I'll be on a cruise into heaven
Hearin' stories and a thousand lies
About the things that I never do
Experiences that I don't have
It's kinda scary on the big queen Mary
Gotta get 'er ready, gotta do it fast

Gotta grab a piece a' paper
Wish I could find my pen
What am I takin' ya
What am I waiting for

[Chorus:]
I gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie
And I can't leave a thing behind
Gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie
For every different change of mind
I gotta pack it for every reason
Every season, be it night or day
I gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie
I love my Louie when I go away

(Dooby, dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie
We're gonna pack it up every day
Dooby, dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie
Lock it up and we're on our way
Dooby, dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie
Pack it up, we're on our way
Dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie
Dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie)

First stop is gonna be Buenos Aires
Tangolissimo all night long
Two days and we're heading off to Rio
Carnivalling from morning to dawn
Then I'll samba as Queen Senorita
Do Havana down the Emerald way
But before I get on the liner
Some gotta go, some gotta stay

So I'll grab a piece a' paper
Tear it out of my cahier
Next time I'm not hesitating
I think I'm leaving today

[Chorus:]
I gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie
And I can't leave a thing behind (do do do)
Gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie
For every different change of mind (different change of mind)
I gotta pack it for every reason (every reason)
Every season, be it night or day (night or day)
I gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie
I love my Louie when I go away

[man speaking]:
All aboard, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro,
Havana and the Emerald Way!

I gotta get to Pier 19 (ta ta da da)
Pier 19 on the west side
Is there a porter somewhere (I need a porter)
For a lady in despair
Can you help little me (can you help please little me)
Get this fabulous trunk in the air

[Chorus:]
I gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie
And I can't leave a thing behind (can't leave a thing behind)
Gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie (pack up the Louie)
For every different change of mind (for every different change of mind)
I gotta pack it for every reason (for every reason)
Every season, be it night or day
I gotta pack
Gotta pack up the Louie (I gotta, gotta pack the Louie)
I love my Louie when I go away

(Dooby, dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie
We're gonna pack it up every day
Dooby, dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie
Lock it up and we're on our way
Dooby, dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie
Pack it up, we're on our way
Dooby, dooby, pack up the Louie
Pack up the Louie and we're on our way)
