Lyrics

Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the Wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
Oh the prettiest little thing that I ever seen
Mardi gras Injuns down in New Orleans
Sewed all night and they sewed all day;
Mardi Gras mornin' went all the way
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
Injuns comin' from all over town
Big Chief singin', gonna take 'em down
A Jackimo feeno, hey-la-hey
Injuns are rulers on the holiday
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the Wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
Mardi Gras morning won't be long
Gonna play Injuns, gonna carry on
Maskers runnin' up and down the avenue
Here come the Injuns, let 'em through
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the Wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
I'm an Injun ruler from the thirteenth ward
A big Chief Kahuna and I won't be bought
I walked through fire and I swam through mud
Snatched the feathers from an eagle, drank panther blood!
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the Wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
Got an itty bitty spy, got a heart of steel
If his shank won't get you, his hatchet will
Gedde may hocko m'yoo na no
He shoot the gun in the jailhouse door
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the Wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
I'll bring my gang all over town
Drink firewater til the sun goes down
We get back home, we're gonna kneel and pray
We had some fun on the holiday
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the Wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the Wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Meet de boys on the Battlefront
Yeah, the Wild Tchoupitoulas gonna stomp some rump!
