Well, it's a straight line as the crow flies

To a heaven hear on earth

And if you make time, it's a cool drive.

Head down to the coast

If your taste runs to the gumbo,

Don't know where to go,

Let me introduce you to

The King of Zydeco



If you're head leaks like a trainer,

The sea comes to your door,

A strange sound from the juke-joint,

A mile just down the road

Believe it when you hear it,

The sound of a 'rubbing board' board,

Let me introduce you to The King of Zydeco



Move it over

Open up that line

Roll it over,

Buddy, I'm insane.



You wont feel like a stranger,

You've found a second home

You cant get out of your tree there

When the music hits your soul.

Bye-Bye 'Big Brother'

"Cause I'm going away

I wanna listen to the man

They call Clifton Cheniere.



Feel like a statistic,

Feeling shrink-wrapped up too.

It's dun-time baby

You been to long in school.

Head down to the place

Near to Thibodoux

Let me introduce you to

The King of Zydeco

Move that semi

Buddy, I'm insane.

It's now or never

I can't touch the brakes.



Well, it's a stone's throw from the Bayou

And I can see the sign,

Shining like a beacon

Right on through the night.

No more airs and graces,

Gotta catch the show,

Let me introduce you to

The King of Zydeco.
