1)
Down the Mississippi where the alligators go
There’s a crazy swamp where the muddy water flows
You might hear a fiddle or a concertina too
Everybody’s dancing underneath the moon
Chorus:
Doing the bayou boogie
Doing the bayou boogie
In the muddy swamp where the alligators go
They do the bayou boogie
2)
In Louisiana where Cajuns like to live
Music is alive and people love to give
Bugs are in the air, you can listen to them buzz
The water’s full of life and the trees are full of fuzz
Doing the bayou boogie
Doing the bayou boogie
In the muddy swamp where the alligators go
They do the bayou boogie
3)
The bayou is alive with animals galore
When you think you’ve seen them all there are many more
Black bears, brown bats, crawdads too
Dancing in the moonlight and kicking off their shoes
Doing the bayou boogie
Doing the bayou boogie
In the muddy swamp where the alligators go
They do the bayou boogie
