Songtexte You Can't Shush Katie - Clarence Williams' Blue Five

I met the loudest gal in New Orleans
She's called the 'Loud Katie Brown'
She's got the loudest mouth in New Orleans
And that's a loud Southern town

When Katie talks
She really yells
When Katie squawks
She raises wells

The townfolk try to hush her
But I claim
They can't calm her down

Oh, you can't shush Katie
The talkative lady
The gabbiest gal in town

When she was young
They say Doctor Beetle
Vaccinated her with a phonograph needle

Her idle chatter
And foolish patter
Make you wanna strap her down

When she comes in
To say, "Hello"
You have to disconnect the radio

Oh, you can't shush Katie
The talkative lady
The gabbiest gal in town

Oh, you can't shush Katie
The talkative lady
The gabbiest gal in town

When she was young
They say Doctor Beetle
Vaccinated her with a phonograph needle

Her idle chatter
And foolish patter
Make you wanna strap her down

When she comes in
To say, "Hello"
You have to disconnect the radio

Oh, you can't shush Katie
The talkative lady
The gabbiest gal in town
