When they had the earthquake
In San Francisco, back in nineteen six
They said that old 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
Shim and shake
That brought on the Frisco quake
So you can put the blame on mama boys
Put the blame on mame.
