Sometimes you gotta let your hair down
Have a little fun sometimes
I used to let my hair down all the time
Now it's only sometimes

Sometimes you gotta kick up your heels
Dance with the fiddle sometimes
I used to pay the fiddler all the time
Now it's only sometimes

chorus
Laisser les bontemps rouler
The shrimp boat's cullin' and a' comin' this way
Have a little party, gonna last 'til dawn
Dance with the girls to Jolie Blonde
Comment ça va
Yippie yi o
On the Gulf Coast, man, anything goes
When you work all week and you walk that line
You gotta have fun sometimes
