Chanez Les Bas Lyrics
Chanez Les Bas - Eartha Kitt/Shorty Rogers
Down in Louisiana Louisiana
Land of Creole Sues
Patois Mardi Gras and romantic blues
Once I hard a lover
When work was over
Strum a Creole croone
To his lovey dovey
Underneath a Dixie Moon
I heard him say
Just so Chantez-les bas
That means in Creole
Sing them low
I like that pretty world
Chantez-les bas
She liked blues played
Sweetly and slow
Oooh
Chantez-les bas
I can't forget that serenade
And if you listen to me
Just for a while
I'll try to sing for you
Just what he said
Oh in the morning baby
Just 'fore day in the morning
Just 'fore day in the morning
Just 'fore day New Orleans
Hey hey
Oh in the morning baby
Just 'fore day in the morning
Just 'fore day in the morning
Just 'fore day
I'll come and get you
And take you away
Far far away
Chantez les bas
Far far away
Chantez les bas
