What are the actual lyrics of the song “Louie Louie?
The song is currently owned by EMI Music Publishing. Only they can legally grant permission to reprint the lyrics for this song. While there may be certain websites out there with the supposed “real lyrics,” they are non-authorized, and they or may not contain the actual lyrics. My favorite interpretation of the lyrics, while not necessarily the “real” lyrics can be found at Theo DeGrood’s LOUIE website. If you are interested in reading what the F.B.I. thought the real lyrics were, I’d be happy to sell you a copy of the F.B.I. investigation that I obtained via the Freedom of Information Act. Order your copy from me, and I’ll use whatever profits I make to pay for my documentary-in-progress, while you’ll be able to stay off certain lists of people that investigate government information.
