Lyrics and translation Rita Hayworth - Put the Blame On Mame

Put the Blame On Mame

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in nineteen-six
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 shootin' up in the Klondike
When they got Dan McGrew
Folks were putting the blame on
The 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 hoochie coo
That's the thing that slew McGrew
Put the blame Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

Accusez Mame

Quand il y a eu le tremblement de terre à San Francisco
En mille neuf cent six
On disait que Mère Nature
Était en train de jouer ses vieux tours

C'est l'histoire qui a circulé
Mais voici la vraie vérité

Accusez Mame, les gars
Accusez Mame
Une nuit, elle a commencé à se trémousser et à secouer
Ce qui a déclenché le tremblement de terre de Frisco
Alors vous pouvez accuser Mame, les gars
Accusez Mame

Il y a eu une fusillade dans le Klondike
Quand ils ont eu Dan McGrew
Les gens accusaient
La dame connue sous le nom de Lou

C'est l'histoire qui a circulé
Mais voici la vraie vérité

Accusez Mame, les gars
Accusez Mame
Mame a dansé une danse appelée le hoochie coo
C'est ce qui a tué McGrew
Accusez Mame, les gars
Accusez Mame
