Momma better come and see about your son
He's a-sittin' on the front porch with Jolie Blon
He's got the sittin' here in la la
Geechi Geechi Ya Ya Blues

That gal in Opelousas stomped a hole in my heart
There's a spider in my gumbo and my car won't start
Got the sittin' here in la la
Geechi Geechi Ya Ya Blues

N'est pas bon
Mauvais oh oui
Pauvre mon
C'est la vie
Sans la malchance, je n'aurais aucune chance

Well my alimony payments are way past due
And the Lake Charles cops are looking for me too
I got the sitting here in la la
Geechi Geechi Ya Ya Blues

N'est pas bon
Mauvais oh oui
Pauvre mon
C'est la vie
Sans la malchance, je n'aurais aucune chance

Got a penny in my pocket and a hole in my shoe
I got the bad luck fever and the hard times flu
Got the sittin' here in la la
Geechi Geechi Ya Ya Blues
Yeah, I got the sittin' here in la la
Geechi Geechi Ya Ya Blues

Sans la malchance, je n'aurais aucune chance

C'est la vie!
