What's Made Milwakuee Famous
Jerry Lee Lewis · Other Songs - Jerry Lee Lewis
And I know I should go home
But every time I start to leave
They play another Jerry Lee song, yes they do
Somebody'll buy another round, yeah, yeah
And with every drinks are free
What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a fool out of me
Baby's begged me not to go
A thousand times before
She says love and happiness
Just don't live behind those swinging doors
Now she's gone and I'm to blame
Too late, I finally see
What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a loser out of me, yeah, yeah
Baby's begging me not to go, don't go Jerry
So many times before
She says love and happiness
Can't live behind those honky tonk doors
Now she's gone, she's gone and I'm to blame
You're to blame Jerry
Yeah, I finally see, oh yeah
What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a loser out of me
What's made Milwaukee famous
Has made a loser out of me, yeah, oh yeah
