I'm gon' down to Louisianne
Gonna find myself a Cajun band
I love to hear it when they say
Laissez les bontemps rouler

Laisse les bontemps rouler
That's what the Cajun people say
They sing and dance their cares away

Laisse les bontemps rouler

Make the coffee strong and hot
Put that crawfish in the pot
I love to taste the etoufee
Loissez les bontemps rouler

So sing for me a Cajun song
We'll do the "two-step" all night long
Today will soon be yesterday
Loissez les bontemps rouler
