Chantez les ba.

Down in Louisiana, Louisiana
Land of Creole Sues
Patois, Mardi Gras
And romantic blues
Once I heard a lover
When work was over
Strum a Creole croone
To his lovey dovey
Underneath a Dixie Moon
I heard him say just so

Chantez-les bas
That means in Creole
Sing 'em low
I like that pretty word
Chantez-les bas
She liked her blues played sweetly and slow

Oh, Chantez-les bas
I can't forget that serenade
And if you listen to me
Just for a while
I'll try to sing for you just what he said

Oh in the mornin' baby jes' fore day
In the mornin' jes' fore day
In the mornin' jes' fore day
New Orleans, hey, hey!
Oh in the mornin' baby jes' fore day
In the mornin' jes' fore day
In the mornin' jes' fore day
I'll come to get you and take you away
Far, far away
Chantez-les bas
Far, far away
Chantez-les bas
