Lyrics Eh, La Bas - Kid Ory, The Creole Jazz Band

Eh, La Bas

mo lenme la kizin!
I love the kitchen!
Mo manje plen, mo bwa diven,
I eat a lot, I drink wine,
e sa pa kout ariyen.
and it costs me nothing.
Ye tchwe kochon, ye tchwe lapen,
They kill a pig, they kill a rabbit,
e mo manje plen.
and I eat a lot.
Ye fe gonmbo, mo manje tro,
They make gumbo, I eat too much,
e sa fe mon malad.
and that makes me sick
