lyrics

Bayou Dinner
© 1994 Mark Nelson

All across the country when it’s time to eat,
All the people want a Cajun treat.
You can read all about on the printed page
They say the Bayou cooking is the latest craze

Chorus:
I wanna Bayou dinner, down in old Louisian’
Go to the fais do do in my old pirou, come on and take my hand.
I wanna Bayou dinner, something spicy tonight,
I want a jambalaya and a pecan pie, I wanna Bayou dinner tonight.

Well let’s go down to New Orleans
Cause you’re the sweetest Dixie chicken that I’ve ever seen.
Is it Tabasco on your lips that makes your kisses so hot?
I love the way that you stir your pot.

You got the blackened fish with the sauce so red,
You got the old crawfish and you suck the head.
You got the file gumbo alligator stew,
You got the Cajun waiter asking, “How’s by you?"
