Put the blame on mame
There once was an earthquake
In San Francisco
Back in 1906 (or '96 I'm not sure which!)
They said that Old Mother Nature
was up to her old tricks

that's the story that went around
but here's the real lowdown
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 shooting
up in the Klondike
when they got Dan McGrew

Folks were putting the blame on
a lady known as "Lou"
That's the story that went around
But here's the real lowdown

Put the Blame on mame, boys
Put the Blame on mame
mame did a dance called the "hitchie Koo"
That's the thing that slew McGrew
so you can Put the Blame on mame boys
Put the Blame on Mame
