[Verse 1]
The clock rings and it's half past eleven
Can't believe it but the time just flies
Soon I'll be on a cruise up to heaven
Hearing stories and a thousand lies
About the things that I'd never do
Experience that I don't have
It's kinda scary on the big Queen Mary
Got to get it, got to do it fast

[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta grab a piece of paper
Wish I could find my pen
What am I taking, yeah
What am I waiting for?

[Chorus]
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
And I can't leave a thing behind
Gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
For every different change of mind
I gotta pack it for every reason
Every season be it night or day
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
I love my Louie when I go away
[Verse 2]
First stop is gonna be Buenos Aires
Tango Listener all night long
Two days and we're heading off to Rio
Kind of running from morning till dawn
Then I'll slumber as queen seniorita
To Havana down the Emerald way
But before I get on the liner
Some gotta go, some gotta stay

[Pre-Chorus]
So I grab a piece of paper
Tear it out of my cahier
Next time I'm not hesitating
I think I'm leaving today

[Chorus]
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
And I can't leave a thing behind
Gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
For every different change of mind
I gotta pack it for every reason
Every season be it night or day
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
I love my Louie when I go away
[Bridge]
(All aboard, Buenos Aires)

(Rio de Janeiro)

[Chorus]
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
And I can't leave a thing behind
Gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
For every different change of mind
I gotta pack it for every reason
Every season be it night or day
I gotta pack, gotta pack up the Louie
I love my Louie when I go away
