'Cause I ain't comin' home until the fall
You can tell all my pets
Now you can tell all my pets
'Cause Lulu's back in town
I may not get back home at all
But he won't be aroun'
'Cause Lulu's back in town
'Cause Lulu's back in town
Lulu's back in town
I gotta get myself a boutonniere
Yes, I may not get back home at all
Mister Otis regrets
But he won't be around
All my Harlem coquettes
Gotta find a half a buck somewhere
All my Harlem coquettes
You can tell the mailman not to call
'Cause tonight, I've gotta look my best
'Cause I ain't comin' home until the fall
You can tell the mailman not to call
Mister Otis regrets
I gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
I may not get back home at all
