27 days left: "Jambalaya!"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZh2KNNPurQ

goodbye joe, 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, well have good fun on the bayou

Chorus:
jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a file gumbo
cause tonight Im gonna see my machez a mio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou.


thibodeaux, fontainbleau, the place is buzzin
Kinfolk come to see yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style, go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou.

Repeat chorus


Final chorus:
jambalaya, a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo
cause tonight Im gonna see my machez amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-oh
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou.
Son of a gun, well have big fun on the bayou.

1. Thank You for Posting Those Lyrics
No WONDER I could never understand what Professor Longhair was singing.

My most vivid memory about was being stranded in a run down hotel near the train station in Bucharest Romania in 1996. There was a band in the restaurant playing "Jambalaya." Very surreal.
