me gotta go
 me oh my oh
 Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
 My Yvonne
 the sweetest one
 me oh my oh
 Son of a gun
 we'll have big fun on the bayou

 Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
 'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio
 Pick guitar
 fill fruit jar and be gayo
 son of a gun
 we'll have big fun on the bayou.

 Thibodaux
 Fontaineaux
 the place is buzzin'
 Kinflok come to see Yvonne by the dozen
 Dress in style and go hog wild
 me oh my oh
 Son of a gun
 we'll have big fun on the bayou

 Jambalaya ...

 Settle down far from town
 get me a pirogue
 And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou
 Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
 Son of a gun
 we'll have big fun on the bayou

 Jambalaya ...

 Jambalaya ...

 Jambalaya ...

 Jambalaya
