The song “Louie Louie” by the Kingsmen might not strike you as Federal Bureau of Investigation material. But the song was under investigation by the FBI for two whole years. The bureau’s interest had to do with the lyrics of the song, which most listeners find either confusing or simply impossible to understand. Those muddled words turned out to be big trouble for “Louie Louie,” as at least one person heard a few things in there that weren’t exactly suiting for a teenage audience.

Does anyone actually know the words to the song?

There's words beyond "Louie Louie" ?

This is hilarious!
Next time when they attempt something like this, they might as well just send the money they are willing to spend on something like it, directly to me. At least then it will not be a waste

Guess Heart of Glass should be investigated too

Lyrics from the Kingsmen 1963 version (combined the "oh baby" with the "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah" in the chorus. And then there is the famous mistake in which Jack Ely started singing the third verse too soon after the guitar solo, resulting in the extra "me see.")
Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby.
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go.
A fine little girl, she waits for me.
Me catch the ship across the sea.
Me sailed the ship all alone.
Me never think I'll make it home.
Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby.
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go.
Three nights and days I sailed the sea.
Me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there.
I smell the rose in her hair.
Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby.
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go.
OK, let's give it to 'em right now
(guitar solo)
Me see . . .
Me see Jamaica, the moon above.
It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then
I tell her I'll never leave again.
Louie Louie, oh no, me gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby.
Louie Louie, oh baby, me gotta go
I said we gotta go now
Let's step on out of here
Let's go!
Certainly looks subversive from here.

Must be a case of auditory hallucination... we have a lot those around here. People listen to English songs and think they hear something in French.

pssst FBI maybe you should go waste our money and investigate Lucy in the sky with diamonds. I've heard the artists may have been on LSD! LSD of all things.
Seriously though how much more fail does the war on drugs have to be before we realize what a waste of time it is. You want to wipe out hard drugs? Fine I'm totally there with you but do it by declaring a new war.
The war on gangs. Target the producers not the users. Of course we would never do that because it might actually put police in real danger.
