Creola

Creola in my soul-a

I loved what they were sayin'

I loved what they were playin'

Creola



(CHORUS 1)

Creola on my victrola

Makes me feel like dancin'

Fall in love romancing the melody

Creola, Creola, Creola for me



I remember as a child all the happiness and smiles

That flowed around my grandma's Sunday table

While Auntie Mae was sayin' grace

Papa T would sneak a taste

And catch a funny look from my cousin Mabel



Then daddy'd beat the drum

The old folks start to hum

Sing the only songs that we all know

Ambiance so fine, dancin' drinkin' wine

Sing about the lifestyle on the bayou



(CHORUS 2)

Creola in my soul-a

I loved what they were sayin'

I loved what they were playin'

Creola



Creola on my victrola

Makes me feel like dancin'

Fall in love romancin' the melody

Creola, Creola, Creola for me



It's in the mood, it's in the blood

It's in the food, it's in the mud

It's a spicy kind of life

Cre-o-la



It's in the mood, it's in the blood

It's in the food, it's in the mud

Creola, Creola, Creola for me



(INSTRUMENTAL 2 VERSES)



Well the years have come and gone

Still the old song lingers on

I keep it in my heart with fond affection

Like the family good luck charm

That keeps away the harm

Creola's always there for my protection



(CHORUS 3)

Creola, good for your soul-a

I loved what they were sayin'

I loved what they were playin'

Creola



Creola on my victrola

Makes me feel like dancin'

You fall in love ramancin' the melody

Creola, Creola, Creola for me
