Standard (EADGBE)

Everybody's had a few

 Now they're talking about who knows who

 I'm going back to the Crescent City

 Where everything's still the same

 This town has said what it has to say

 Now I'm after that back highway

 And the longest bridge I've ever crossed over Pontchartrain

 Tu le ton temps that's what we say

 We used to dance the night away

 Me and my sister me and my brother

 We used to walk down by the river

 Mama lives in Mandeville

 I can hardly wait until

 I can hear my Zydeco and laissez le bon ton roulet

 And take rides in open cars

 My brother knows where the best bars are

 Let's see how these blues'll do in the town where the good times stay

 Tu le ton temps that's what we say

 We used to dance the night away

 Me and my sister me and my brother

 We used to walk down by the river

Solo

 Tu le ton temps that's what we say

 We used to dance the night away

 Me and my sister me and my brother

 We used to walk down by the river
