Takin' It Easy
Sittin' in the kitchen, with a bottle of wine
A papa's beneficial since a quarter to nine
With my sister and a brother Joe
Just takin' it easy, on the old bayou
Well, the preacher came by today
He said, I wouldn't go to heaven living this way
I ain't looking for a place to go
I'm just takin' it easy, on the old bayou
Takin' it easy, it don't take much to please me
And I don't need anybody hangin' 'round
I might be outdated, but I got my hook and line baited
I ain't got a thing that I ain't found
Just sittin' in the kitchen, with a bottle of wine
My papa's been fishin' fer, since a quarter to nine
With my sister and a brother Joe
So, I'm takin' it easy on the old bayou
Takin' it easy, it don't take much to please me
And I don't need anybody hangin' 'round
I might be outdated, but I got my hook and line baited
I ain't got a thing that I ain't found
(Sittin' in the kitchen), sittin' in the kitchen
(With a bottle of wine), with a bottle of wine
(My papa's been fishin'), my papa's been fishin'
(Since a quarter to nine), since a quarter to nine
(With my sister), oh, with my sister
(And a brother Joe), and this is brother Joe
Just takin' it easy, on the old bayou
I'm just takin' it easy, on the old bayou
On the old bayou
I'm just takin' it easy, (just takin' it easy)
On the old bayou
A papa's beneficial since a quarter to nine
With my sister and a brother Joe
Just takin' it easy, on the old bayou
Well, the preacher came by today
He said, I wouldn't go to heaven living this way
I ain't looking for a place to go
I'm just takin' it easy, on the old bayou
Takin' it easy, it don't take much to please me
And I don't need anybody hangin' 'round
I might be outdated, but I got my hook and line baited
I ain't got a thing that I ain't found
Just sittin' in the kitchen, with a bottle of wine
My papa's been fishin' fer, since a quarter to nine
With my sister and a brother Joe
So, I'm takin' it easy on the old bayou
Takin' it easy, it don't take much to please me
And I don't need anybody hangin' 'round
I might be outdated, but I got my hook and line baited
I ain't got a thing that I ain't found
(Sittin' in the kitchen), sittin' in the kitchen
(With a bottle of wine), with a bottle of wine
(My papa's been fishin'), my papa's been fishin'
(Since a quarter to nine), since a quarter to nine
(With my sister), oh, with my sister
(And a brother Joe), and this is brother Joe
Just takin' it easy, on the old bayou
I'm just takin' it easy, on the old bayou
On the old bayou
I'm just takin' it easy, (just takin' it easy)
On the old bayou
