| A long time ago, yeah | |
| Before you was born dude | |
| When I was still single | |
| And life was great | |
| I held this job as a traveling salesman | |
| That kept me moving from state to state | |
| Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette | |
| State of Louisiana | |
| Wondering where a city boy could go | |
| To get a little conversation | |
| Drink a little red wine | |
| Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls | |
| Dancing to Zydeco | |
| Along come a young girl | |
| She's pretty as a prayerbook | |
| Sweet as an apple on Christmas day | |
| I said good gracious can this be my luck | |
| If that's my prayerbook | |
| Lord let us pray | |
| Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette | |
| State of Louisiana | |
| Wondering where a city boy could go | |
| To get her in a conversation | |
| Drink a little red wine | |
| Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier | |
| The King of the Bayou | |
| Well, that was your mother | |
| And that was your father | |
| Before you was born dude | |
| When life was great | |
| You are the burden of my generation | |
| I sure do love you | |
| But let's get that straight | |
| Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette | |
| Arcoss the street from The Public | |
| Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe | |
| Maybe get a little conversation | |
| Drink a little red wine | |
| Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier | |
| Dancing the night away |
