| Hey baby, won’t you stop what you’re doing
|
| Go on home, put your red dress on
|
| Tell your mama I said not to worry
|
| I’ll have you home before the break of dawn
|
| Sonnier’s got his squeeze box pumping
|
| Thibadeaux’s got his fiddle out
|
| Meet me over by the side of the river
|
| Because there’s big doings down at Boudreaux’s house
|
| Take my bateaux down by the bayou
|
| Pole on over to the fais do do
|
| Don’t be late, don’t keep me waiting
|
| Everybody’s going to go, everybody’s going to go
|
| I want to be there when the band starts playing
|
| Zydeco music makes me want to dance
|
| Sun’s going down and a new moon’s shining
|
| Mighty fine night for the big romance
|
| I’ve got a question, I just might pop it
|
| I know something that you don’t know
|
| Well, I got a ring of gold in my pocket
|
| Tonight’s the night and you can’t say no |
