Lyrics

Eh, la bas! Crawfish etouffee They all asked for you I went on down to the Audubon Zoo And they all asked for you They all asked for you (For who?) Well, they even inquired about you I went on down to the Audubon Zoo And they all asked for you The monkeys asked The tigers asked And the elephant asked me too (Aw, do it!) (Get me summa dat red beans and rice) (Oooh, doggie) Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom Bo, do bee dah dip bomp Bom, bom Bo, do bee dah dip bomp Eh, la bas (Eh, la bas) Red beans and rice Creole gumbo I went on up to the big ol' sky And they all asked for you (For who?) They all asked for you Well, they even inquired about you I went on up to the big ol' sky And they all asked for you The ducks asked The eagles asked And the buzzard asked me too (Do it to it) (Eh, la bas) (Eh, la bas) (Let the bon temps rouler!) Bom, bom, bom, bom, bom Bo, do bee dah dip bomp Bom, bom Bo, do bee dah dip bomp Eh, la bas (Eh, la bas) (Eh, la bas) Grits and fish drippins Les crawfish bisque and les etoufee Boiled weenies and tomato paste Do it! Put ya'll's hands together I went on down to the deep blue sea And they all asked for you They all asked for you (For me?) Well, they even inquired about you I went on down to the deep blue sea And they all asked for you (For me?) The shark asked The whale asked And the barracuda asked me too They all asked for you (Every morning) They all asked for you (Early in the morning) Everybody there, runnin' nowhere They all asked for you They all asked for you (Every morning) They all asked for you (Every evening) They all asked for you
