Lyrics

Cabin on the Bayou

Well, I’m heading down the road with the pedal to the floor
My tires are a burnin’, I can hear the engine roar
So, don’t be parking in my driveway and banging on my door
‘Cuz I won’t be there to greet you

I got a cooler full of beer and gumbo in the pot
To share it with my friends when they get up to the spot
We’re gonna fais-do-do ‘til the sun comes up
Going to my cabin on the bayou

Cabin on the bayou, Cabin on the bayou
There’s music in the air. Life without a care
Let’s have some fun on the bayou

The zydeco band will be burning up the night
We’ll be swinging to the left and swinging to the right
The accordion and fiddle will play it loud and tight
We’ll have our dancing shoes on

Well, the gators and the catfish will be splashing to the beat
The étouffée and boudin balls are very good to eat
The Avery Island sauce will be flowing hot and sweet
There’s a party at my cabin on the bayou.

Cabin on the bayou, Cabin on the bayou
There’s music in the air. Life without a care
Let’s have some fun on the bayou

Listen to the breeze singing in the trees
Dancing with the stars to the Cajun beat
We got crawfish boil, no more cares or toils
As we Cajuns say let the good times roll.

Cabin on the bayou, Cabin on the bayou
There’s music in the air. Life without a care
Let’s have some fun on the bayou

Cabin on the bayou, Cabin on the bayou
There’s music in the air. Life without a care
Let’s have some fun on the bayou
Let’s have some fun on the bayou
