Album: The Very Best Of Hot Chocolate (1987). She was black as the night. Louie was whiter than white. Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar. Louie fell in love over night. Hey man, what's wrong with that? Nothing bad, it was good. Louie had the best girl he could. When she took him home to meet her mama and papa. Louie knew just where he stood. Louie Louie Louie, Louie Louie Louie. Louie Louie Louie, Louie you're gonna cry. All right, what's all this about? I love her, man.
