No one really knows for sure, but...

Here are the lyrics to Louie Louie according to _The Straight Dope_ by
Cecil Adams:
Berry...explains the song of a seafaring man, spoken to a sympathetic
bartender named Louie.

"Louie Louie, me gotta go. Louie Louie, me gotta go.
A fine girl, she wait for me. Me catch the ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone. I never think I'll make it home.
Louie Louie, me gotta go.
Three nights and days we sailed the sea. Me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there. I smell the rose in her hair.
Louie Louie, me gotta go.
Me see Jamacan moon above. It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then I tell her I never leave again.
Louie Louie, me gotta go.
(by Richard Berry. Copyright 1957-1963 by Limax Music Inc.)

Shell.

Fine little girl she waits for me
Me catch the ship for cross the sea
Me sail the ship all alone
Me never think me make it home

Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go

Three nights and days me sail the sea
Me think of girl constantly
On the ship I dream she there

I smell the rose in her hair

Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go

Me see Jamaica moon above
It won't be long, me see my love,
I take her in my arms and then
Me tell her I never leave again

Louie, Louie, me gotta go
Louie, Louie, me gotta go

Thanks for this. I am going to print it off and send it to my
mother for a major guilt trip on grounding me :>

That's the "clean" version. Several alternate versions can be found on
the web. -John
