I got the hippy ti-yeaux
All because I’ve got to go
Yes I’ve gotta do
Get to Louisiana Bayou
I wanna go back
I got the hippy ti-yeaux
I got to get back
I wanna get back
To Louisiana Bayou
I’m going back to my yellow school bus
In Louisiana Bayou
Cool night breeze
Lightning bugs in the trees
I wanna go back to Lafayette Parish
In Louisiana Bayou
The Zydeco, R&B Calypso Reggae melody
I wanna go back
I got the hippy ti-yeaux
I got to get back
Got the hippy ti-yeaux
I wanna get back
To Louisiana Bayou
I wanna go back to fishin n shrimpin
Louisiana Bayou
Baton Rouge, New Orleans
The beautiful delta scene
I wanna go back to
Gumbo country
To Louisiana Bayou
Brown gravy, crawfish sauce,
mattress Spanish moss
I wanna go back
I got the hippy ti-yeaux
I got to get back
Got the hippy ti-yeaux
I wanna get back
To Louisiana Bayou
I wanna go back
I got the hippy ti-yeaux
I got to get back
Got the hippy ti-yeaux
I wanna get back
To Louisiana Bayou
