So you can put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame 

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco 
Back in nineteen-six 
They said that ol' Mother Nature 
Was up to her old tricks 
That's the story that went around 
But here's the real low-down

Put the blame on Mame, boys Put the blame on Mame 

One night she started to shimmy-shake 
That brought on the Frisco quakes
