about

Robert Louis Stevenson (November 13, 1850 - December 3, 1894). A guide to the pronunciation of his name to the tune of 'Louie Louie' by The Kingsmen.

lyrics

Robert Louie Stevenson
You got it wrong
oh…..

It’s Robert Lewis Stevenson
His birth certificate says so
oh….

I heard the news from Ian Bell
Yeah, I’ve been pronouncing it wrong all my life as well
Also it’s jeekel not Jeckel and Hyde, I was telt
By Scottish Literature lecturer Ian Campbell

It’s Lewis Lewis
oh…
Not Louie Louie
oh…

A bagel is a bigel, or so some people say
Even Lou Reed was Lewis Allan, wahey
I bet you didn’t know that either, eh?
You’d better watch your Ps and Qs and Is and clichés

Lou Reed, Lou Reed
oh…
Lewis Allan
oh…

It’s Lewis Lewis
oh…
Not Louie Louie
oh…
