lyrics

Lafayette

I fell in love in lafayette
To the accordian and the two step
She stole my heart with that sizzlin rhythm
waltzin on the back porch grinnin

where license plates they line the walls
with christmas lights and cattle horns
the band strikes new friends come to call
draggin you onto that old wooden floor

Oh Kelly Oh Kelly wont you be my polka dot baby
Oh Kelly Oh Kelly I want to take you in my arms tonight
Oh Kelly Oh Kelly wont you be my polka dot baby
I want to take you down to where the bayou flows and make you my baby tonight

In the Blue Moon Saloon they know how to play
Guitar and fiddle players stand real straight
bass and drums in the pocket all night long
with jess lege singing old cajun songs
and now its getting late
sparks ready to leave
kelly and her friends are still staring at me
sittin on the porch with claude and guitars
singing songs to those southern stars

Oh Kelly Oh Kelly wont you be my polka dot baby
Oh Kelly Oh Kelly I want to take you in my arms tonight
Oh Kelly Oh Kelly wont you be my polka dot baby
I want to take you down to where the bayou flows and make you my baby tonight

I want to take you down to where the bayou flows and make you my baby tonight
