VIEUX CARRE song lyrics
by Mark Alan Dooley and Joel Sattler
I saw you down
In French Quarter town
Vieux Car Ray
she say you been hangin round
Lookin to buy a little piece of me
I got to say hey bay bay baby
I'm not free baby
not free yeah
she said
Funky is as funky does
I'm alive because
everything can be for sale
believe you me
It never fails it never fails
That's right
On the bayou fool
What I've seen what you can do
can't get along alone
no no
she said I'd invite you in
to have a night of sin
She said I'm the devil's daughter
Watch me walk on that water
Well I got me so fine
and what is your's is mine
She's a bayou child
bijou le mon (my jewel)
vi se da vita (if there be life)
Gonna do the entire Creole song
I say my my my my
When that girl gives me the evil eye
Funky is as funky does
Well I got me and mine
they call her Miss Divine
Oh yeah
Break it on down Bouffy
Showin the love
take off the gloves...
Walking Canal Street
midnight to beat the heat
jazz pouring on out of every club
She likes to dance
she likes to prance
she likes to strut in Southern Decadence
don't be coy
little boy
here's your chance
this is your big chance
Humpf!
=======================
Original version by Mark Alan Dooley:
Funky is as funky does
I saw you down
In French Quarter town
I know you been hangin round
Lookin for a little piece of me
I got to say every day is free baby
It's free yeah
Funky is as funky does
You're alive without
All deceiving and all
Believe you me
There's no better time then now
That's right
On the bayou fool
What I've seen you do
I can't get along
Who did invite you
Who knew what's goin on
All along the river side
Your not so divine but
You'll be walkin on that water
Well I got me and mine
Oh it's so fine
Down the bayou child
bijou le mon (my jewel)
vi se da vita (if there be life)
Gonna do the Creole song
Well I got me and mine
When that girl gives me the eye
Funky is as funky does
Well I got me and mine
Girl I love ya divine
Oh yeah
