Not sure why you posted this in the Shouting Street thread as it's technically a Clash outtake from the Sandinista! sessions. But anyway here's the lyric. All ad hoc.

Louie Louie oh baby, we gotta go
Oh Louie Louie oh baby, we gotta go

I'm walking down the same old scene
'Cause that's my girl, that's my girl
Hey, hey, hey that's my girl
Walking walking looking for some beauty
Like my girl, my girl that's my city

Louie Louie oh baby, we gotta go
Yeah yeah
Now Louie Louie oh baby, we gotta go
Come on ...ooh we can go here

We're walking day
What can what can I say I say
What can I say
Way
Then she say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
She ain't coming no, no
Can't see her no more
Louie Louie woah baby, we gotta go
Haven't we
Yeah Louie Louie oh baby, we gotta go
Once more
Yeah Louie Louie oh babe, we gotta go
Hey Louie Louie woah baby, we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Louie Louie woah we gotta go oh hey
Louie Louie ...we gotta go ...yeaaaaah
Oh Louie Louie oh my honey we could've gone
Forget it

I've never seen the movie but feel I've learned 10% of life's important lessons just from that clip.🤣

Seek it out. It's derivative of Stand By Me—coming of age in the early 60s—but it's a lot of fun.

If I can get just one person to watch it, I've done my daily duty for goodness. :cool:
