En, de, twa, kat
Bonjou or Bonswa
Where my Creoles?!
Well sing it with me cher
Chorus:
Oh oh, yeah yeah, oh yeah
I AM CREOLE
Verse 1:
Let’s take it to the floor
I love to listen to zydeco
There’s things about us that you may not know
I AM CREOLE
From the lightest to the darkest complexion
Look on the map we go in all directions
Some wish they would...
Have a culture this good
..with the food boudin, etouffee
Ooh I wish you could
REPEAT CHORUS
Shouts out to Louisiana
New Orleans, the whole Acadiana
Lake Charles and Lafayette
Houma, Breaux Bridge, and Generette
Baton Rouge, I can’t miss
Thibodeaux, Shreveport, Natchitoches
All the Creoles in the US
Mississippi, Cali and Texas
Bridge:
it’s time to go, grab someone and hit the floor
on the count of four it’s time for you to do the Zydeco
En, de, twa, kat
