Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Eh la ba
Crawfish etouffee
They all ask'd for you
[Verse 2]
I went on down to the Audubon Zoo
And they all ask'd for you
They all ask'd for you (For who?)
Well, they even inquired about you
I went on down to the Audubon Zoo
And they all ask'd for you
The monkeys asked
The tigers asked
And the elephant asked me too
[Verse 3]
Oh, do it
Oh, you know that something there
Red beans and rice
[Verse 4]
Eh la ba (Eh la ba)
Yeah, Lamba
Red beans and rice
Creole gumbo
[Verse 5]
I went on up to the big old sky
And they all ask'd for you (For who?)
They all ask'd for you
Well, they even inquired about you
I went on up to the big old sky
And they all ask'd for you
The ducks asked
The eagles asked
And the buzzard asked me too
[Verse 6]
Do it, do it
Eh la ba (Eh la ba)
With the bull toad goulet
[Verse 7]
Eh la ba (Eh la ba)
Eh la ba
Grits and fish drippings
And a crawfish dish and l'etouffee
Boil willin' and tomato past
[Verse 8]
Do it
Join hands together
[Verse 9]
I went on down to the deep blue sea
And they all ask'd for you
They all ask'd for you (For me?)
Well, they even inquired about you
I went on down to the deep blue sea
And they all ask'd for you (For me?)
The shark asked
The whale asked
And the barracuda asked it too
[Verse 10]
They all ask'd for you (There in the morning)
They all ask'd for you (Early in the morning)
Everybody there wanna know where
They all ask'd for you
[Verse 11]
They all ask'd for you (There in the morning)
They all ask'd for you (Early in the evening)
Everybody there wanna know where
They all ask'd for you
[Verse 12]
Yeah
