[Chorus]
Louie, Louie, whoa, baby
Say we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Louie, Louie, oh, baby
Say we gotta go

[Verse 1]
Fine little boy, he waits for me
He gets his fill, oh, constantly
Seen him playin' 'round 'bout an hour ago
He's never without, I'm waitin' at home

[Chorus]
Louie, Louie, whoa, baby
Say we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say Louie, Louie, oh, baby
Say we gotta go

[Verse 2]
Every night at ten I see him again
I think of him, oh, constantly
Goin' anywhere and he takes me there
Goin' down the road right in his ear

[Chorus]
Louie, Louie, oh, baby
Say we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say Louie, Louie, oh, baby
Say we gotta go

[Verse 3]
All right
Meet my maker, I know my part
It won't be long, please touch my heart
Take him in my arms again
Dug her eyes, they never leave you again

[Chorus]
Say, Louie, Louie, oh, baby
Say we gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say Louie, Louie, oh, baby
Say we gotta go

[Outro]
Say we gotta go now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We gotta go now
Louie, Louie, oh, baby
We gotta go now

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

After splitting with The Runaways, and releasing her first solo album, Joan Jett placed an ad in LA Weekly looking for bandmates. Gary Ryan, Eric Ambel, and Danny “Furious” O'Brien joined her, creating the orginial Blackhearts lineup.

After their initial tour though, O'Brien was replaced with Lee Crystal.

Early on, keeping the band afloat was not easy. Joan and producer Kenny Laguna struggled, sometimes selling copies of albums from the trunk of his car. Eventually unable to keep up with the demand for Joan Jett’s album, they signed with Boardwalk Records.
