Bayou Boil

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mama lit the propane low Big black pot start to glow Corn on the table, lemons in a bowl Paper plates ready, let the good times roll Mister Jody came through grinning Ice chest full, and the day kept spinning Peel that shell, let the red dust fly Everybody here got a little bit hungry-eyed [Pre-Chorus] Shake it, shake it, don’t be slow Pass that spice and let it go Heave that sack, hear them laugh Bayou cooking in the yard out back [Chorus] Crawfish boil, let it roll Crawfish boil, let it roll Pinch that tail, dip that corn All night long till the crowd is worn Crawfish boil, let it roll Crawfish boil, let it roll Hot and red, right on time Bring that bowl and I’ll bring mine [Verse 2] Auntie stirred with a wooden spoon Papa said, “Boy, they’ll be ready soon” Sausage curled and the potatoes split Everybody lined up just to get a bit Kids ran wild with a lemon seed Old folks swayed like they couldn’t leave Hot sauce shining on a paper napkin One big feast and the whole yard clappin’ [Pre-Chorus] Shake it, shake it, don’t be slow Pass that spice and let it go Heave that sack, hear them laugh Bayou cooking in the yard out back [Chorus] Crawfish boil, let it roll Crawfish boil, let it roll Pinch that tail, dip that corn All night long till the crowd is worn Crawfish boil, let it roll Crawfish boil, let it roll Hot and red, right on time Bring that bowl and I’ll bring mine [Bridge] When the sun slides down We still stay near Finger-lick joy And a cold sweet beer Call my name I’m right there One more scoop And we all declare [Final Chorus] Crawfish boil, let it roll Crawfish boil, let it roll Pinch that tail, dip that corn All night long till the crowd is worn Crawfish boil, let it roll Crawfish boil, let it roll Hot and red, right on time Bring that bowl and I’ll bring mine [Outro] Pass the napkins Pass the lime Crawfish boil Feels just right
