>> What ARE the lyrics, apart from "Loo-eh, loo-eye, whoa
>> baby, we gotta go?"

I got these from http://lyrics.coolfreepages.com. I believe that it is an
urban myth that Louie Louie contained swear words, at least in the
Kingsmen's version. Perhaps the 1950's "race music" lyrics were raunchier?

Louie Louie
The Kingsmen

(Music and Lyrics by Richard Berry)

  Louie Louie, oh no
  Me gotta go
  Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
  Louie Louie, oh baby
  Me gotta go
  
  Fine little girl waits for me
  Catch a ship across the sea
  Sail that ship about, all alone
  Never know if I make it home
  
  CHORUS
  
  Three nights and days I sail the sea
  Think of girl, constantly
  On that ship, I dream she's there
  I smell the rose in her hair.
  
  CHORUS
  
  Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!
  
  GUITAR SOLO
  
  See Jamaica, the moon above
  It won't be long, me see me love
  Take her in my arms again
  Tell her I'll never leave again
  
  CHORUS
  
  Let's take it on outa here now
  Let's go!!
