T-Bone Burnett - Bon Temps Rouler' lyrics

You see me there well I ain't no fool

I'm one smart Frenchman never been to school

If you wanna have some fun in a Creole town

Stop and let me show you your way around

You let the bon temps rouler

You let the muley boolay

Now don't you be no foolay

You let the bon ton rouler.

I've got a Creole girl well she's one fine dish

But she's got ways like a mean crawfish

She don't do nothing but raise sand all night

But when it comes to loving she's a much all right.

She let the bon temps rouler

She let the muley boolay

Now don't you be no foolay

You let the bon temps rouler.

You wanna have yourself some real fine fun

Go down in Louisiana and get you one

You find Oem cutting cane all down the line

I've got a cotton picker she's a mighty fine.

She do the bon temps rouler

She let the muley boolay

Now don't you be no foolay

You let the bon temps rouler.

At the church bazaar or the baseball game

At the French la la, it's all the same

You wanna have some fun well you gotta go

Way out in the country to the zydeco.

You let the bon temps rouler

You let the muley boolay

Now don't you be no foolay

You let the bon ton rouler.
