Chanez Les Bas

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
