JAMBALAYA on the bayou - Carpenters

Jambalaya

Jambalaya

Good-bye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh

He gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou

His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Thiboudaux, Fontaineaux the place is buzzin'

All kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen

Dress in style they go hog wild, me oh my oh

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

(*) Jambalaya, crawfish pie and filé gumbo

For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my-my cher a mi-o

Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down far from town get him a pirogue

And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou

Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou
