The Carpenters - Jambalaya lyrics

rate me

Goodbye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh<br />

He gotta go-pole the pirogue down the bayou<br />

His Yvonne the sweetest one, me oh my oh<br />

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou<br />

<br />

Thibodaux, fontaineaux the place is buzzin'<br />

A kin-folk come to see Yvonne by the dozen<br />

Dress in style the go hog wild, me oh my oh<br />

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou<br />

<br />

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo<br />

For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my Cher a mi-oh<br />

Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-oh<br />

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou<br />

<br />

Settle down far from town get him a pirogue<br />

And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou<br />

Swap his mon to buy Yvonne what she need-oh<br />

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou<br />

<br />

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo<br />

For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my Cher a mi-oh<br />

Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-oh<br />

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou<br />

<br />

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo<br />

For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my Cher a mi-oh<br />

Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-oh<br />

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou<br />

<br />

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo<br />

For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my Cher a mi-oh<br />

Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-oh<br />

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou<br />

<br />

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo<br />

For tonight, I'm a-gonna see my, my Cher a mi-oh<br />

Pick guitar, fill fruit far and be gay-oh<br />

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou<br /><br />
