A long time ago, yeah
Before you was born dude
When I was still single
And life was great
I held this job
As a traveling salesman
That kept me moving
From state to state

Well,
I'm standing on the corner
Of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Catch a little bit
Of those Cajun girls
Dancing to Zydeco

Along come a young girl
She's pretty as a prayerbook
Sweet as an apple
On Christmas day
I said:
"Good gracious,
Can this be my luck"
If that's my prayerbook
Lord let us pray

Well,
I'm standing on the corner
Of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering what a city boy could do
To get her in a conversation
Drink a little red wine
Dance to the music
Of Clifton Chenier
The King of the Bayou

Well,
That was your mother
And that was your father
Before you was born dude
When life was great
You are the burden
Of my generation
I sure do love you
But let's get that straight

Well,
I'm standing on the corner
Of Lafayette
Across the street
From The Publix
Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Standing in the shadow
Of Clifton Chenier
Dancing the night away
