Lyrics


Well you see him there,
he ain’t no fool
He one smart Frenchman
never been to school
If you wanna get around
in a Creole town
Stop and let him show you
your way round

You let the bon ton roulet
You let the mulay voulay
Don't you be no foulay
You let the bon ton roulet

I got a Creole gal,
she one fine dish
But she got brains
like the ole crawfish
She don’t do nothing
but raise Cain all day
And when it come to lovin’
she much OK

You let the bon ton roulet
You let the mulay voulay
Don't you be no foulay
You let the bon ton roulet

At the church bazaar
or the baseball game
If they don’t go well
it’s all the same
If you wanna have fun
you got to go
Up to the country
to the zydeco

If you wanna have yourself
a big ole fun
Go down to Louisiana
and you find you one
You find her cutting cane
all along the line
I got a woman and
she really so fine

You let the bon ton roulet
You let the mulay voulay
Don't you be no foulay
You let the bon ton roulet
