VERSE 1
C                G
Run, run to the east confession trash.
C                    G
We don't need your thrills or your call-book cash
C                        G
Let's just nature's got plans to keep you up there

RIFF 2

VERSE 2
C                      G
Swamps, fiddles that whine about the Mayor
C                G
Our caves are divine they've got conditioned air.
C                       G
Fan-tail, backwash and factory and rooms will stay up here

CHORUS
A                 C
Hands off of the bayou.


Heel, stay in your state; it's a new south trap.
What, what is the bait? Ya silly aqua-cat.
War! College exams! You know I learned a lot
About the fiction ya tossed and the father's fat and lost,
Your failless father lost..
Your chivalry is lost..
Your shivalry in shame.
