[Verse 1]
Boudreaux said, “Mais, dem crawfish sho taste right,”
Thibodeaux shouting, “More Tabasco, hold on tight!”
At Broussard’s shack, they was burnin’ their lips,
Spicy like them women with the swayin’ hips.
[Verse 2]
Then off to Landry’s Bar for a beer or two,
Talkin’ big stories ‘bout what they gon’ do.
Laughin’ so hard de floor near split in half,
Oh “Doz two coo-yawns make me laugh!”
[Chorus]
“Hey, cher baby pass da crawfish tail,
Pour me a beer, and don’t be frail,
We dance all night ‘til the mornin’ light,
But love’s gon’ trick us before daylight!”
[Verse 3]
Guidry’s Honky Tonk was jumpin’ strong,
Accordions and rub boards playin’ all night long.
Everybody dare already three sheets gone,
But them two boys was still carrying on.
[Verse 4]
Then they saw an angel that made them both freeze,
Marie arrived at Guidry’s like a bayou breeze.
A beautiful angel sweet as sugar cane,
Both coo-yawns planning to stake their claim!
[Chorus]
“Hey, cher baby pass da crawfish tail,
Pour me a beer, and don’t be frail,
We dance all night ‘til the mornin’ light,
But love’s gon’ trick us before daylight!”
[Verse 5]
They danced her ‘round, tryin’ to steal the show,
Tripping on their boots, wouldn’t let her go.
They sung, they spun, they laughed out loud,
Both trying so hard to make her proud.
[Verse 6]
Then a big Ford truck rolled up out front,
Window slid down, driver lookin’ blunt.
“Merci, boys, for watchin’ Marie tonight,
But me an’ her Mama gonna tuck her in right.”
[Chorus]
“Hey, cher baby pass da crawfish tail,
Pour me a beer, and don’t be frail,
We dance all night ‘til the mornin’ light,
But love’s gon’ trick us before daylight!”
[Chorus]
“Hey, cher baby pass da crawfish tail,
Pour me a beer, and don’t be frail,
We dance all night ‘til the mornin’ light,
But love’s gon’ trick us before daylight!”
