"Sadie Green the Vamp of New Orleans"
Lyrics
"Intro: Way down south in New Orleans they got a gal named Sadie Green,
All the fellers rave about this purty little queen.
She vamps them one and all, nearly drives ’em wild,
When she walks by, the mothers cry, “Fireman save my child!”

1a. Sadie Green, she’s the Vamp of New Orleans,
Has more beaus than the Navy has Marines,
When she starts to shake her hips,
Captain, captain, sink your ships,
And if she starts to vamp, oh gosh,
Mother burn my mackintosh!

1b. Since this vamping baby came to town,
Why she’s done turned everything right upside down,
Oh, boy, full of speed,
And what she ain’t got, huh! she don’t need,
What a queen, Sadie Green,
The Vamp of New Orleans.

2a. Sadie Green, she’s the Vamp of New Orleans,
Why, she has more beaus than old Boston has baked beans,
When she starts to dance, oh, gee!
Mother, mother, mother pin a rose on me,
She makes bald men tear their hair,
Hold ’er, Newt, don’t you let her rare!†

2b. Since this vamping baby came to town,
Why she’s done turned everything right upside down,
Oh, boys, what a catch,
She’s got big brown eyes and feet to match,
What a queen, Sadie Green,
The Vamp of New Orleans.
† rear up and get away, like a spirited pony."
