Well, they call my Baby, Patty
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lu
Well they call my Baby, Patty
But her real name, her real name, her real name is Linda Lu
She's so fine, fair and pretty
You never know what my Baby's gonna do
My Linda Lu

Now when she walks down the street
All the guys, all the guys, all the guys stop and look around
Well, when she walks down the street
All the guys, all the guys, all the guys stop and look around
Oh, she's so fine, fair and pretty
You never know what my Baby's gonna put down

Well, I marry that gal next Saturday night
I'll stay with her for the rest of my life
From now on my rovin' days are through
And it's all because of that chick, a-Linda Lu
Linda Lu, Linda Lu, tell me, tell me, tell me
What are you gonna do

Well, I had a real bad dream last night, Honey
You said, you said, you said that we were through
Ah, but if you ever leave me
You're gonna break my poor heart in two
Ah, yeah, Linda Lu

(Instrumental Break)

Well, I marry that gal next Saturday night
I'll stay with her for the rest of my life
From now on my rovin' days are through
And it's all because of that chick, a-Linda Lu
Linda Lu, Linda Lu, tell me, tell me, tell me
What are you gonna do

Well, I had a real bad dream last night, Honey
You said, you said, you said that we were through
Ah, but if you ever leave me
You're gonna break my poor heart in two
Ah, Linda Lu
