Sides face, grand square
*I was born on the bayou by the levee
On a river road way down in Louisian
Now I'm far away but I still have the memory
I can almost taste my momma's sauce piquante
Four little ladies promenade, it's once around you go
Get on back and swing and promenade
Once more I'd like to go to the Cajun fais dodo
Laissez les bon temps rouler river road

The heads square thru in the middle
Get 4 to the tune of the Cajun fiddle
Meet a little corner girl and dosado
Swing thru tonight, let a boy run right
Ferris wheel you know, those centers pass thru
Touch 1/4, scoot back, that corner lady swing
Swing that girl and promenade the bayou
Once more I'd like to go to the Cajun fais dodo
Laissez les bon temps rouler river road
