Magnolia Soul

Let the good times roll

The bad times gone

The sun's gonna shine, shine

Rise up, get on your feet

Let the good times roll (Oh, don't stop)

The sad times gone (Let it go, c'mon)

Let the good times roll

Pretty Mama can't stop

Magnolia's soul

(Pretty Mama gonna do your dance, c'mon)

Dear Magnolia, what's crackin'?

Been a long time since I last saw your face

Never forget the day out in the sticks I saw your crecsent smile in place

All the way from uptown, downtown, lakeside to river

Heard W don't care about them

Gotta watch who you make ya friend

Otherwise FEMA will come through and backstab you again (And check it)

Just some advice to lend

Weak ties will bend

Through the dark, true light will win

And they said that this the end

But we fixin' to make them saints march on again, c'mon

Let the good times roll (Woo)

The bad times gone (Let 'em go, y'all)

The sun's gonna shine, shine (Shine)

Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet)

Let the good times roll (C'mon, don't stop)

The sad times gone (Let 'em go, c'mon)

Let the good times roll

Pretty Mama can't stop

Magnolia's soul

Polite little hurricane, called for, she came (Uh-huh)

Officials knew the deal and they didn't do a thang (Uh-huh)

Knew her every move

Yep, Katrina was her name (Wha?)

The mayor had the whole game in the palm of his hand (C'mon)

Hand in the pot

Caught cold and oh!

Shouldv'e fixed them damn levees long time ago (Yuh)

But they didn't take the chance to do it

Pitty-pat between the Pres and the mayor

Folks was dying (Die), too

A gang of us in the Superdome

We're in the heat

Folks in wheelchairs, feet swole, nothing to eat

So to the kids and the families that lost

I rhyme for, ‘nolia clap

Show the world your soul

Let the good times roll, (Let it roll, baby)

Bad times gone (Let it roll, let it roll, baby)

The sun's gonna shine (Say, what?)

Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet)

Let the good times roll (C'mon, don't stop)

Sad times gone (Ha-ha)

Let the good times roll

Pretty Mama can't stop

Magnolia's soul (I'm a let it roll, I'm a let it roll, c'mon)

Ah, ha-ha, a-ha

Say, what?

Ha, ha, a-ha-ha, yeah

Go on, do your dance, c'mon, yeah

Say, what? Yeah

I'mma let it roll, c'mon

Let it roll, c'mon

Pretty Mama, come and do your dance

So, everybody clap them hands (That's what I'm doing)

Still steppin to the second line band (Say, what?)

Still stompin' to the Sulu drum (Show you right)

You can't stop this native son (Uh-huh, ah-ha)

Well, let the good times roll (Let it roll, let it roll, baby)

Let the good times roll, pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul (Let it roll, daddy, let it roll, daddy)

Let the good times roll

The bad times gone (Yeah)

The sun's gonna shine (Ah, uh)

Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet, tell your daddy, c'mon)

Let the good times roll (Let it roll, ah)

The sad times gone (Let it roll, let it roll, ah)

Let the good times roll (Ooh)

Pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul (Can't, can't stop that)

Let the good times roll

The bad times gone (You better, you better know about it)

The sun's gonna shine (Shine, yeah, uh)

Rise up, get on your feet (Get on your feet, homey)

Let the good times roll (Let it roll, let it roll)

The sad times gone (Again, dog, again, dog, c'mon)

Let the good times roll (Ha-ha-ha)

Pretty Mama can't stop Magnolia's soul
