Lyrics

Life is like a hurricane
It brings the wind, it brings the rain
Mud and bone, and tangled vine
Pick the grape and drank the wine
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive
Roll in the clover bare your feet
Bees will sting but honey's sweet
Chickens run but angels fly
'Cuz God is holding up the sky
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive
Shiny hearses long and black
Don't come with a luggage rack
You can't take it when you go
So let the good, the good times roll
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Je Suis Vivant... Vivant
Shiny hearses long and black
Don't come with a luggage rack
You can't take it when you go
So let the good, the good times roll
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive
