Everybody's had a few
                          
Now they're talking about who knows who
                      
I'm going back to the Crescent City
                            
Where everything's still the same
                           
This town has said what it has to say
                   
Now I'm after that back highway
                                                   
And the longest bridge I've ever crossed over Pontchartrain
                             
Tu le ton temps that's  what we say
                         
We used to dance  the night away
                          
Me and my sister   me and my brother
                          
We used to walk  down by the river
              
Mama lives in Mandeville
              
I can hardly wait until
                                        
I can hear my Zydeco and laissez le bon ton roulet
                  
And take rides in open cars
                           
My brother knows where the best bars are
                                                             
Let's see how these blues'll do in the town where the good times stay
                             
Tu le ton temps that's  what we say
                         
We used to dance  the night away
                          
Me and my sister   me and my brother
                          
We used to walk  down by the river

SOLO
                             
Tu le ton temps that's  what we say
                         
We used to dance  the night away
                          
Me and my sister   me and my brother
                                      
We used to walk  down by the river
