lyrics

THE CAJUN ROCK AND ROLL STANZA

VERSE
JUST LIKE THE SUNDAY PAPERS, ALL HUMAN LIFE WAS THERE
BY THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER NOW I’M SITTIN ON THE MOONLIGHT STAIRS
JUST ACROSS THE JACKSON SQUARE
WE’VE GOT A BALLOON MAN AND A MAGICIAN
GOT OURSELVES A PRIEST
I CAN SEE A CAJUN WOMAN NOW HONEY THAT I’D LIKE MYSELF TO MEET
YEAH I’D LIKE MYSELF TO MEET
BUT

CHORUS
SHE GOT THE VOODOO IN HER EYES
SHE PUT THE MOJO ON MY SOUL
SHE KNOWS A BEAUCOUP FULL OF GUYS
AND I’M A GONNA ROCK AND ROLL
YEAH I’M A GONNA ROCK AND ROLL
(WITH THE FIDDLE NOW)

YIP-A-LA-DA-LEY-DO, GET ALONG, GET ALONG, YIP-A-LA-DA-LEY-DO

VERSE
I’VE BEEN A LOT PLACES, SEEN A LOT OF REAL LIFE SCENES
I DON’T KNOW WHERE I’M A-GOIN NOW HONEY
GOING DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS, GOIN DOWN TO NEW ORLEANS
WE’VE GOT THE DELTA QUEEN AND THE PRESIDENT
GOT OURSELVES A FEAST
I CAN SEE THAT CAJUN WOMAN NOW HONEY THAT I’D LIKE MYSELF TO MEET
YEAH I’D LIKE MYSELF TO MEET
BUT

CHORUS
SHE GOT THE VOODOO IN HER EYES
SHE PUT THE MOJO ON MY SOUL
SHE KNOWS A BEAUCOUP FULL OF GUYS
AND I’M A GONNA ROCK AND ROLL
YEAH I’M A GONNA ROCK AND ROLL
(WITH THE FIDDLE NOW)

YIP-A-LA-DA-LEY-DO, GET ALONG, GET ALONG, YIP-A-LA-DA-LEY-DO
