Jimmy Buffett - Hippolyte's Habitat (Qui Moun' Qui) lyrics

Swing my cutlass at the tall grass

And anything that gets in my way

That's my job here, let's be quite clear

Working is how I spend my day

Scary? Verrry I can instill some fear

Owners don't know this is my show

I've seen them all disappear

Chorus

Who's the boss man?

Surely ain't dat Paperman

I'm the only boss around

Who's the boss man?

Surely ain't dat white man

I'm de only boss in town

Creole

Qui moun' qui, patron la C' pa blanc la ce moin'

Qui moun' qui, patron la C' pa blanc la ce moin'

Chorus

Who's the boss man?

Surely ain't dat Paperman

He be an annoying little gnat

Who's the boss man?

Surely ain't dat white man

Dis is Hippolyte's habitat

Creole

Qui moun' qui, patron la C' pa blanc la ce moin'

Qui moun' qui, patron la C' pa blanc la ce moin'

Now you've met me, don't forget me

Hippolyte the French handyman

But my work waits, please the ingrates

They're all a part of my plan

Chorus

Who's the boss man?

Surely ain't dat Paperman

He be an annoying little gnat

Who's the boss man?

Surely ain't dat white man

Dis is Hippolyte's habitat

Creole

Qui moun' qui, patron la C' pa blanc la ce moin'

Qui moun' qui, patron la C' pa blanc la ce moin'

There's a place in France where they do the cutlass dance
