give me iko i wanna ball the wall here shuffle in dumaine hear the hookacumbi meet my tipatina love her hold her tightly wanna see her swaying in new orleans nightly you know i wanna be there drinking in the morning holler in the evening dr jazz dr jazz bake my jelly roll you quicken my pulse you make my rhythm slow crawfish gumbo rhythm from the jungle big chief rocking i follow the voodoo king oolamalawaladollar that s what the fez he sing how long must it be how long must i wait till highway 49 takes me to your gate i eat a bowl of gumbo that creole child will serve sit on the verandah happy in a dixie world maybe on sunday head for baton rouge dancing with the cajun twist away my blues then a drop of rain a trickle in my eye i look up and smile at the rhythm that never never dies
