Lyrics
Have You Been Down To New Orleans ? Have you been down to New Orleans ? Where the catfish bite and the gators mean Folks get together for a rendez-vous Zydeco music and some Bar-B-Q Dancin’ and singin’ till the break of day Someone might ask you : « Parlez-vous francais ? » Join everybody marching in the parade Let the good times roll Got it made in the shade Down in Louisiana it’s common to say : « Laissons le bon temps rouler ! » Have you been down to Bourbon Street Swingin’ Jazz music sweeps you off your feet Friendly people greet you : « Come on cher ami » That’s what they call Cajun hospitality Dancin’ and singin’ till the break of day Someone might ask you : « Parlez-vous francais ? » Join everybody marching in the parade Let the good times roll Got it made in the shade Down in Louisiana it’s common to say : « Laissons le bon temps rouler ! » When I saw what happened Down in New Orleans So much devastation couldn’t bare to see How to rebuild after a tragedy It takes courage and tenacity Dancin’ and singin’ till the break of day Someone might ask you : « Parlez-vous francais ? » Join everybody marching in the parade Let the good times roll Got it made in the shade Down in Louisiana it’s common to say : « Laissons le bon temps rouler ! » Words & Music : Michel Goudreau ©Copyright 2007 by Michel Goudreau SOCAN
