Young doctor in a straight-backed chair, talking about me like I'm not there
Tell my momma that I just can't stop, say my elevator don't go to the top
Oh doctor but I got a plan, if I make it to Louisian'
'Cause I know a Creole boy who makes it easy as an une et deux et trois

I'm goin' down to the cool bayou, change my name to Thibodaux
And when they play that Fais dodo,dance all night if you dance real slow
Drop a line in the Ponchartrain, swim with the crawdad and the crane
When they find me out in the rain, be sure and tell them Thibodaux's my name

Well a poor man wants what a rich man's got, but all I want is a crawfish pot
A bucket of bait and a folding chair and the kind of loving that you get down there
Mon cheri won't you come my way, where the fiddle and accordion play
And we'll write a Cajun song that gets them moving with a une et deux et trois

I'm goin' down to the cool bayou, change my name to Thibodaux
And when they play that Fais dodo, dance all night if you dance real slow
Drop a line in the Ponchartrain, swim with the crawdad and the crane
When they find me out in the rain, be sure and tell them Thibodaux's my name
