Standard (EADGBE)

Creola In my Sola

I loved what they were sayin'

I loved what they were playin'

Creola

Creola on my victrola

Makes me feel like dancin

Fall in love romancin the mel-o -dy

Creola Creola Creola for me

 I remember as a child all the happiness and smiles

 That flowed around my grandma's Sunday table

 While Auntie May was sayin' grace

Papa T would sneak a taste

 Catch a funny look from my cousin Mabel

 Then daddy'd beat the drum

 The old folks start to hum

 Sing the only song that we all knew

 Ambiance so fine dancin' drinkin' wine

Sing about the lifestyle on the bayou

Creola In my Sola

I loved what they were sayin'

I loved what they were playin'

Creola

Creola on my victrola

Makes me feel like dancin

Fall in love romancin the mel-o -dy

Creola Creola Creola for me

It's in the food it's in the mud

 It's in the mood it's in the blood

Dmin7 G7 C-(2-finger 5th+2nd strings: Dmin-Ebmin-Emin)

It's a spicy kind of life Creola

 It's in the food it's in the mud

 It's in the mood it's in the blood

Creola Creola Creola for me

(Instrumental two verses)

Well the years have come and gone

Still the old song lingers on

I keep it in my heart with fond affection

Like the family good luck charm

That keeps away the harm

Creola's always there for my protection

(Chorus 3)

Creola, good for your sola

I loved what they were sayin'

I loved what they were playin'

Creola

Creola on my victrola

Makes me feel like dancin'

Fall in love romacin' the melody

Creola Creola Creola for me

It's in the mood it's in the blood

It's in the food it's in the mud

It's a spicy kind of life

Creola

Just repeat the words I say

About a thousand times a day

Creola Creola Creola for me

It's in the mood it's in the blood

It's in the food it's in the mud

It's a spicy kind of life

Creola

Forget about the mumbo-jumbo

Hello to the world of gumbo

Creola Creola Creola for me
