赖世雄教你学唱歌: Unit 17 Jambalaya

Jambalaya----by Carpenters


Goodbye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go -- pole the pirogue down the bayou
His Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Thibadaux, Fountaineaux the place is buzzin'
Kin-folk come, to see Yvonne, by the dozen
Dressed in style, they go hog¹ wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
'For tonight I'm gonna see my sherry mi-o
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o'
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down far from town get him a pirogue
And he'll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap² his mum to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou
