 Hey Hey-a Bayou Lena
 Ain't she a beautiful girl
 C'mon take it up to New Orleans
 And drink a bottle of cheap red wine
 Well, she walked in to the room wearing a gator skin suit
 Barfly's slack jaws droppin' to the floor
 With the grease on her fingers and lipstick on her toes
 When the lights turned red, she began to take it off
 She dances  in the corner makin' minimum  wage
 Back home with seven  hungry mouths to feed
 Hey Hey-a Bayou Lena
 Ain't she a beautiful girl
 C'mon and take it up to New Orleans
 And drink a bottle of cheap red wine
 She likes to shimmy in the shadows 'til the brink of day
 Cockfight pretty woman that I love
 With a pissed off disposition and a shit eatin' grin
 With a smile on her face she looks you in the eye
Dangling  in the corner makin' minimum  wage
 Back home with seven  hungry mouths to feed
 Hey-a Bayou Lena
 Ain't she a beautiful girl
 C'mon and take it up to New Orleans
 And drink a bottle of cheap red wine
 solo over E (8 measures)
 >  >  (x3)
 >  >  >
 >  >
Well  now, there's blood  sittin' on the barstool
 You know she's looking for Ms. Lana Lee
 Yeah, spinnin' wheel spinnin' on the liquor machine
 Sayin' what goes up, must  come down
 With this little southern  show in a gator skin suit
 Jailbird vagrants stompin' to the floor
 Mixin' drinks with muddy water and kitchen cigarettes
 At the night of joy, what a night of joy
Dances  in the corner makin' minimum  wage
 Back home with seven  hungry mouths to feed
 Hey-a Bayou Lena
 Ain't she a beautiful girl
 C'mon take it up to New Orleans
 Let's drink a bottle of cheap red wine
 Hey-a Bayou Lena
 Ain't she a beautiful girl
 C'mon take it up to New Orleans
 Let's drink a bottle of cheap red wine
 Hey Bayou Lena
 Ain't it a beautiful world
 It's still a beautiful world
 It's still a beautiful world
