Opelousas Jamboree

 

I was sittin' at the bar feeling blue

Needed someone to be with and to talk to

When I heard the clicky-clicky of high heel shoes

And the whishy-whishy-whishy of a pair of big boobs

There stood this woman in satin and pink

She said "My name is Brigette, May I buy you a drink?"

I say, "Yeah swell, lady, but my rent's overdue."

She say, "It's alright, I think you are cute."

 

She say, "Come with me and we can drink for free

Where the water run clean through the tall oak tree

And we'll dance all night, hand-in-hand

And listen to the laughter and the cajun band."

 

At the Opelousas Jamboree

There were honeysuckle bushes and baggy briefs

Ripe red T-bird, Sunbeam sweets

At the Opelousas Jamboree

 

(Spanish Dolls, Lava Lamps)

 

Now everybody back down in New Orleans

Is out on the porch and the sat in their swings

And they're trying to beat the awful heat

And unaware of the Jamboree

 

At the Opelousas Jamboree

There were honeysuckle bushes and baggy briefs

Ripe red T-bird, Sunbeam sweets

At the Opelousas Jamboree
