| Hey Beau, let’s go and get pirogue and push-pole down the bayou
|
| I want to see the Christmas Tree, dance o- fais dodo
|
| Have a big time and cut a shine, where all will be gay-o
|
| Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
|
| Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
|
| I’m gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma chère ami-o
|
| So ring the chimes, it’s Christmas time and pick the old banjo
|
| Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
|
| See ma Nannan and ma Parrain, I know they’ll all be there-o
|
| See Ol' Quelqu’un and Mamoun, Bébé and Jo-Jo
|
| See Jolivet oh my sweet pet and get me some sugar
|
| Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
|
| So roll the rug, let’s kiss and hug and let’s all be gay-o
|
| A merry Christmas to you all and a happy bonne année-o
|
| I’m gonna dance all through the night, 'til daylight with my babe-o
|
| Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
|
| Dionne wants a push-y-on, a pistolette and yo-yo
|
| My Jolivet, oh my sweet pet, Lord cher ami-o
|
| Oh Auntie Luce will cook the goose, and she will serve the gumbo
|
| Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight, down on the bayou
|
| Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
|
| I’m gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma cher ami-o
