Boil The Pot

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sun's down by the bayou bend Big pot laughing on the fire Maggie's tying up her apron strings Says, “Y'all come close, come higher” Piles of corn on the newspaper Lemons cut, and onions bright Old man Ray keeps stirring slow Says, “This one's gonna bite” [Pre-Chorus] Hear that water sing Hear that shell snap back Don't you wait too long The crowd's already packed [Chorus] Boil the pot, boil the pot Shake that salt and hot sauce Boil the pot, boil the pot Crawfish red and tail-to-tail Boil the pot, boil the pot Pass that corn right here now Boil the pot, boil the pot Laissez les bons temps rouler [Verse 2] Kids on the porch with paper trays Laughing at their messy hands Uncle Joe in a straw hat Dancing like he owns the land Beer on ice, the gossip flies Someone yells, “Grab one more!” That sweet boil smell in the humid air Pulls everybody to the door [Pre-Chorus] Hear that water sing Hear that shell snap back Don't you wait too long The crowd's already packed [Chorus] Boil the pot, boil the pot Shake that salt and hot sauce Boil the pot, boil the pot Crawfish red and tail-to-tail Boil the pot, boil the pot Pass that corn right here now Boil the pot, boil the pot Laissez les bons temps rouler [Bridge] Now the ice chest's almost empty But the table's still alive Hands are red, and plates are full And nobody wants to drive One more scoop, one more smile One more roll in the yard Raise your cup, stomp the floor This is how we party hard [Chorus] Boil the pot, boil the pot Shake that salt and hot sauce Boil the pot, boil the pot Crawfish red and tail-to-tail Boil the pot, boil the pot Pass that corn right here now Boil the pot, boil the pot Laissez les bons temps rouler
