Lyrics: Thanks to Sarah Hunt for some of this! :D
Thibodeaux and Fontaneaux, fishin' on the bayou.
Havin' a lot of fun in a little pirogue;
Along come an alligator, overturned the pirogue;
Fontaneaux swim, but Thibodeaux , no.
Thibodeaux, him say "Fontaneaux, help me!"
"This big gator's pretty hongry, I think!"
Big jaws a-snappin', Thibodeaux's a-slappin',
But Fontaneaux, him's already on the bank!
Fontaneaux, him say "Goodbye, Thibodeaux!"
"Me, I gotta go see a man about a crawfish!"
"I'm a brave man, but my feet don't know."
"J'ai pour mon allait, I'll see you while ago!"
Thibodeaux and Fontaneaux, down at the honky tonk.
Drink four or three beer, feelin' pretty good.
Along come Brousard, accidentally bump his arm;
Thibodeaux, him kindly undermis-stood.
Fontan climbed a stool, take a big swing and miss him,
Take another swing, miss him in the same place.
Up stepped Brousard's big, ugly bodyguard,
And hits Thibodeaux in the middle of the face!
Fontaneaux, him say "Goodbye, Thibodeaux!"
"Me, I gotta go cook a pot of fillet gumbo!"
"I'm a brave man, but my feet don't know."
"J'ai pour mon allait, I'll see you while ago!"
Thibodeaux and Fontaneaux, down at the Mardi Gras.
Find a pretty Cajun girl, pitch a little woo.
Everything was okiedoke, but them Cajuns didn't know
That Mrs. Thibodeaux was at the Mardi Gras too!
Thibodeaux bear an ol' kiss onto the elbow.
Would've gone higher, but her mask fall away;
There stands his own wife, with a big butcher knife!
Just about then, he hear Fontaneaux say,
Fontaneaux, him say "Goodbye, Thibodeaux!"
"Me, I gotta go see a man about a catfish!"
"I''d like to help you, friend, but you're runnin' too slow!"
"J'ai pour mon allait, I'll see you while ago!"
"J'ai pour mon allait, I'll see you while ago!" (3x)
