Well, it's a straight line as the crow flies,<br />
To a heaven here on earth.<br />
And if you make time, it's a cool drive,<br />
Head down to the coast.<br />
If your taste runs to the gumbo,<br />
Don't know where to go?<br />
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco.<br />
<br />
If your head leaks like a strainer,<br />
The sea comes to your door.<br />
A strange sound from the juke-joint,<br />
A mile just down the road.<br />
Believe it when you hear it,<br />
The sound of the rubbing board.<br />
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco.<br />
Yeahh..<br />
<br />
Move it over,<br />
Open up that lane.<br />
Roll it over,<br />
Buddy, I'm insane.<br />
<br />
You won't feel like a stranger,<br />
You've found a second home.<br />
You can get out of your tree there,<br />
When that music hits your soul.<br />
Bye-bye Big Brother,<br />
'Cause I'm going away,<br />
I wanna listen to the man,<br />
They call Clifton Chenier.<br />
<br />
Feel like a statistic,<br />
Feeling shrink-wrapped too.<br />
It's fun-time baby,<br />
You've been too long in school.<br />
Head down to the place,<br />
Near to Thibodaux,<br />
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco.<br />
<br />
Move that semi,<br />
Buddy, I'm insane.<br />
It's now or never,<br />
I can't touch the brakes.<br />
<br />
Well, it's a stone's throw from the Bayou,<br />
And I can see the sign.<br />
Shining like a beacon,<br />
Right on through the night.<br />
No more airs and graces,<br />
Gotta catch the show.<br />
Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco.
