Give me that heat
Light up that fire
Grab it while it’s hot
out dat black pot
searched all over
and now I see
Louisiana flavor
can’t be beat
Don’t give me no gumbo.
Outside of the boot
DON’T GIVE ME NO GUMBO
Too FAR from the bayou
Don’t give me no gumbo
Outside of the boot
DON’T GIVE ME NO GUMBO
Too FAR from the bayou
Two bowls for me
I can’t have one
Ate it so fast
I burned my tongue
THEY COOK IT ALL OVER
worldwide i see
My grandmas recipe
one of a kind to me
Don’t give me no gumbo
Outside of the boot
DON’T GIVE ME NO GUMBO
Too FAR from the bayou
Don’t give me no gumbo
Outside of the boot
DON’T GIVE ME NO GUMBO
Too FAR from the bayou
(HORN/ACCORDION SOLO)
(talking part)
[What you mean you aint got no medium grain rice?
Aww Pas bon sha pas bon!
They don’t put no tomato in gumbo!
Where that come from!
Aww Pas bon sha pas bon!
Hand me my chapeau sha, I'm gone.
I'll take my order to go.]
Pardon me ma’am
Don’t' take offense
tried it several times
In my defense
Gimme that burger
with a large iced tea
And when you come to the south
The gumbo is on me
Don’t give me no gumbo
Outside of the boot
DON’T GIVE ME NO GUMBO
Too FAR from the bayou
Don’t give me no gumbo
Outside of the boot
DON’T GIVE ME NO GUMBO
Too FAR from the bayou
Pas bon sha pas bon!

Gonna grab me a beer
bartender here looks real fine
She say hey big fella what you got
I’ll take
A beer and a glass of wine
Im on the island for just 1 week
starting out great
adjusting well
Two beers down I done lost frown
Forgot about everything in that old town
She said Como estas
I said comment savoir
How are you? English is fine
Welcome to the island,
have a good time
And When you drink your beer
Don’t forget the lime
At the resort I just want to get out
called a uber to bring me to town
Asked him where is the action
Just where should I go
Took me too a spot…
I don’t know
place is jumping, across the street
even playing my favorite song
Plenty of ladies
they are looking good
Thank you were much,
but I Think I’ll walk
He said Como estas
I said comment savoir
He say How are you? English is fine
Welcome to the island,
have a good time
And When you drink your
beer Don’t forget the lime
Wish everyday
could be just like this
Heard a text
on my phone
Pre check for my flight
Way too soon I'm going home
they say como estas
I said comment savoir
How are you? English is fine
leaving the island,
I had a good time
And when I drink my beer
I won't forget the lime
hasta la vista!

Streets filled with beads

JE NE SAIS QUOI
Down in the club
That’s where it all started
I met this girl
She like to party
hands were in the air
And she was singing along
They way she moved
THAT GIRL WAS Turning me on
je ne sais quoi
That's what she got
je ne sais quoi
Mon konen pas
Watched from a distance
Couldn’t help myself
Trying not to stare
But she didn’t care
more attention
more risky
I'm getting excited
don’t think it's the whiskey
je ne sais quoi
That is what she got
je ne sais quoi
Mon konen pas

When i was ten
learning how to play
My accordion professor
He was my garage collector
Dad, Brought me to his house
six pack in my hand
Just kind he liked
And then we would jam
Yes I’ve been country
county
Before it was cool
Before it was cool
Down on Hector Conley
town of Carencro
One mile down
From buckwheat Zydeco
My accordion broke
Strapped it TO MY Back
Rode my bike on down
Pulled up straight in the back
Yes I’ve been country
county
Before it was cool
Before it was cool
(accordion solo)
Wore my boots to school
With my cowboy hat
Every weekend
I had all my bags packed
Waiting on Grandpa
To come and pick me up
I helped out on the farm
and played my accordion
Yes I’ve been country
county
Before it was cool
Before it was cool
SO CONFUSED
Lil too much to drink
While out last night
When I got home
I was not alone
Who is this lady
Getting out my truck
I can't believe
She came home with me
Oh lord
so confused
Oh lord
so confused
She’s not my type
Could not have been my choice
Can't even recall
That ladies voice
Where did she come from
ARE They playing A game
I don’t even remember
That lady’s name
Oh lord
so confused
Oh lord
so confused
Oh lord
so confused
Oh lord
so confused
Can't drink no more
Shouldn't had that double
I guess that’s why
I stay in trouble
Every time I drink
And I try to unwind
Somehow I end up
Myself In a blind
Oh lord
so confused
Oh lord
so confused
TIME DON'T WAIT
GOT TO GET IT TOGETHER
Before it’s too late
GOT TO GET IT TOGETHER
TIME DON'T WAIT
You know Time
Time, Waits on no one
As I sit here
Sit here crying
Trying to figure out
Why all these youngsters dying
Hard to believe
That the time just keeps on flying
-- They don’t value life
It's not a game
when will we realize
Bullet aint got a name
Don’t fool yourself
when you pull it
you gonna lose
You know that time
Oh time,
waits on no one
(ACCORDION SOLO)
SOME LEARN EARLY
WHILE SOME LEARN LATE
SOME NEVER GET THE CHANCE
TO PARTICIPATE
You know Time
Time waits on no one
GOT TO GET IT TOGETHER
Before it’s too late
GOT TO GET IT TOGETHER
TIME DONT WAIT
You know Time
OH time
WAITS ON NO ONE.
