Well it's been a long, long time I've been on the road
And now I'm looking for a place to sleep
I drove from New York City down to Lafayette
And played at all points in between
I gotta get me some food, and maybe some brews
There's a sign flashing up the street
So I drove down the road โ heading towards that light
I was so hungry I could eat concrete
And as the glowing neon came into view
It was flashing only one word "EAT"
I turned into the driveway, kicked up some gravel
Could taste the dust in my teeth
Everyone everywhere likes to dance real close
Everyone everywhere loves to Zydeco
ย
Well, you know the parking lot was packed with pickup trucks
And there were people dancing out in the street
And I could hear the band playing on the outdoor deck
They all dancing to the Zydeco Beat
So I ordered a drink and started to think
Man I could stay here all week
Well I asked the bartender could I get some food
She said boy are you in for a treat
Jambalaya, brisket, a plate full of ribs
Collard greens and cornbread so sweet
Ate so much I was sweatin', but now I was gettin'
Ready to go dance to the beat
Everyone everywhere likes to dance real close
Everyone everywhere loves to Zydeco
ย
Well she was out on the floor kickin' up some dust
And when I saw her I just had to compete
I starting spinning around like a lopsided top
And my dinner started to repeat
I asked if she was alone, her smile she showed
And I saw she only had two teeth
Well her name was Anita, she had quite a grasp
When she clutched me now she wouldn't let go
She said hello in a deep voice with quite a rasp
Good thing I knew a little Tae Kwon Do
So when she grabbed me to dance, I ran out of my pants
My car was speedin' when I hit the road
Everyone everywhere likes to dance real close
Everyone everywhere loves to Zydeco
