Hey ho, I want to go
Down to Breaux Bridge to the Zydeco show
Hey ho, why don't you come along
Listen to the rhythm of the Zydeco song

Way down in Louisiana by the old bayou
Everybody grooving on the Zydeco chaud
Little bitty baby and her old grand-ma
Digging on the rhythm of the Zydeco song

Come on pretty baby, don't you want to know
The secret of life and the Zydeco
Moi et toi ça fait l'amour
Zydeco danser tous les jours

Way back up in the country a long time ago
How it got started don't nobody know
It was Uncle Ambrose and Papa Thibodeaux
Next thing you know they got a Zydeco show
