Bon Temps
R. DAWSON & S. FINK
Stir it up, Ya Ya. Stir your boiling pot
Stir it up ,Ya Ya. Ooh it’s sizzling hot
Came to see you to see what you got
Name is Norman I am city boy
The way they tell your stories
Made sense when I heard your voice
You know
Twist and they stumble, yeah I’m on my own
Roll we they tumble, and I carved you in stone
You said to me, “Boy, how you’ve grown.”
I see Hattie at your kitchen sink
A nod and a shake and a wink
Won’t you tell me what you think
Laissez le bon temp rouler
Every night, every day
Laissez le bon temp rouler
Every night, every day
Laughing and dreaming
We’re dreaming in dreams
May find the meaning
Just before you leave
Up in the sky, there’s a bird on the wing
Name is Norman I’m a city boy
A nod and a shake and a wink
Know I’ll tell you what I think
Laissez le bon temp rouler
Every night, every day
Laissez le bon temp rouler
Every night, every day
Laissez le bon temp rouler
Every night, every day
Laissez le bon temp rouler
Every night, every day
