[Verse: Eva Taylor]
I met the loudest gal in New Orleans
She calls her loud Katie Brown
She's got the loudest mouth in New Orleans
And that's a loud Southern town
When Katie talks, she really yells
When Katie squawks, she raises - well!
The townfolk try to hush her but I claim
They can't calm her down

[Chorus: Eva Taylor]
Oh you can't shush Katie, the talkative lady
The gabbiest gal in town!
When she was young, they say Doctor Beedle
Vaccinated her with a phonograph needle!
Her idle chattеr and foolish patter
Makes you wanna strap her down!
Whеn she comes in to say "hello!"
You have to disconnect the radio!
Oh, you can't shush Katie, the talkative lady
The gabbiest gal in town!

[Cornet 20-bar solo: Louis Armstrong]

[Chorus: Eva Taylor]
Oh, you can't shush Katie, the talkative lady
The gabbiest gal in town!
When she was young, they say Doctor Beedle
Vaccinated her with a phonograph needle!
Her idle chatter and foolish patter
Makes you wanna strap her down!
When she comes in to say "hello!"
You have to disconnect the radio!
Oh you can't shush Katie, the talkative lady
The gabbiest gal in town!
