Come on baby come along with me
Down to the bayou1 country
To the swamplands where the cajuns2 go
Do the zydeco3

Alligator jumps around
Wags his tail to the squeeze-box sound
There's a fish-fry and there's hot gumbo4
Come on baby let's go

Tune up the fiddle, roisin' up the bow
Listen to the fiddle of Old Man Moe
Sends a tune up to the sky
Watch them bowhairs fly

Alligator jumps around ...

There's Old Ray and black-eyed Susie
Rockin' to the beat of a Cajun boogie
Dancin' the two-step and the fais dodo5
Come on baby let's go

Alligator jumps around ...
