(Holland)  

  

Give me iko  

I wanna ball the wall here  

Shuffle in Dumaine  

Hear the hookacumbi  

Meet my tipatina  

Love her hold her tightly  

Wanna see her swaying  

In New Orleans nightly  

You know I wanna be there  

Drinking in the morning  

Holler in the evening  

Dr. Jazz Dr. Jazz  

Bake my jelly roll  

You quicken my pulse  

You make my rhythm slow  

Crawfish gumbo  

Rhythm from the jungle  

Big chief rocking  

I follow the voodoo king  

Oolamalawaladollar  

That's what the fez he sing  



How long must it be  

How long must I wait  

Till Highway 49 takes me to your gate  

I eat a bowl of gumbo  

That creole child will serve  

Sit on the verandah  

Happy in a dixie world  



Maybe on Sunday  

Head for Baton Rouge  

Dancing with the cajun  

Twist away my blues  

Then a drop of rain  

A trickle in my eye  

I look up and smile  

At the rhythm that never, never dies
