Young doctor in a straight back chair
Talkin' about me like I'm not there
Tell my mama I just can't stop
Say my elevator don't go to the top
Oh doctor but I've got a plan
If I make it to Louisian'
'Cause I know a Creole boy who makes it easy as a
un and a deux and a trois
I'm goin' down to the blue bayou
Change my name to Thibodaux
And when they play that Fais Do Do
Dance all night if ya dance real slow
Drop a line in the Pontchartrain
Swim with the crawdad and the crane
And when they find me out in the rain
Be sure and tell 'em Thibodaux's my name
Well a poor man wants what a rich man's got
But all I want is a crawfish pot
A bucket of bait and a foldin' chair
And the kind of lovin' that you get down there
Mon cherie, won't you go my way
Where the fiddle and accordion play
And we'll write a Cajun song that gets 'em movin' with a
un and a deux and a trois
I'm goin' down to the blue bayou
Change my name to Thibodaux
And when they play that Fais Do Do
Dance all night if ya dance real slow
Drop a line in the Pontchartrain
Swim with the crawdad and the crane
And when they find me out in the rain
Be sure and tell 'em Thibodaux's my name
