Lyrics
She jingles and she rattles that’s the way she walks
swings like clock in the middle of an earthquake
voice’s sweeter than a butter biscuit on Sunday
lips are so hot like a habanero buffet
Sweet Lulu White
She’ll set you right
Sweet Lulu White
She’s a appetite
She’s a sister of the shadow & her magic talks
Day breaks comin and she’ll make your heartache
A voodoo queen, sets a bed of delights
It’s a Storyville fire, better hang on tight
Sweet Lulu White
She’ll set you right
Sweet Lulu White
She’s a appetite
Freedom is her hustle and she’ll take the knocks
Mahogany hall, forty women and it’s Payday
New Orleans was blinded by her light
Selling shades of chocolate is her crypto night
Sweet Lulu White
She’ll set you right
Sweet Lulu White
She’s a appetite
Moral of this story its a ticking clock
Time to set things up, straighten out your mandate
Cause Anderson, the Vice will turn a blind eye
But they hit the queen of 1917, It’s Lulu’s goodbye
Sweet Lulu White
She’ll set you right
Sweet Lulu White
She’s an appetite
