Oh these days, I'm a nervous wreck, 

Trying to live my life so politically correct

Don't smoke here, don't you stand over there

Drink bottled water, don't you breathe the air

World's so crowded, you can't hardly move

Everybody telling you what to do

People relax, give each other room

Let me tell you what all the Cajuns like to do



Chorus:

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter

If you're sane as a judge, mad as a hatter

People down there, they don't ever stay blue

Cause they just ate or they're fixin' to

They party all night, it makes you feel right

The Big Easy knows that you just gotta let go



Skinny or fatter, natty or tattered

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter

Down in Louisiana, it don't matter



Let me tell you how it is in New Orleans

Life revolves around a lot of rice and beans

They like to share a laugh and tell you what they mean

They always have a smile on their face for everyone they meet

Live and let live is the way that they do

Have the neighbors over for some alligator stew

Crawfish etoufee, Rockin' Doopsie plays

Next thing you know all your troubles fly away



Chorus (x2)
