[Verse 1]
Well the fiddlin' man
Picked up the bow in his hand
And he started playin' 'Baltimore'
And then the bald-headed man
Who was leadin' the band
Come a-dancin' out across the floor
Then an acquaintance of mine
Pulled out a gallon of wine
And started passin' it around the room
And then the next thing I knew
It was a quarter to two
And I was outside howlin' at the moon

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a Saturday night
And it's a belle of a ball
And there's people eatin' food and
Dancin' up and down the hall
So let the party roll on
And let the good times roll-oh oh oh
Ain't nothin' half as crazy
As a Louisiana fais do-do

[Verse 2]
I been to Alabama hay rides
Mississippi fish-fries
A soiree in Atlanta too
Not to even mention
A hell-raisers' convention
And a big ol' Texas barbecue
I done blowed out my mind
On Carolina moonshine
And I partied in a whole bunch of towns
But them people on the bayou
Eatin' jambalay-ou
Sure can kick the dog around
[Chorus]
'Cause it's a Saturday night
And it's a belle of a ball
And there's people eatin' food and
Dancin' up and down the hall
So let the party roll on
And let the good times roll-oh oh oh
There ain't nothin' half as crazy
As a Louisiana fais do-do

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a Saturday night
And it's a belle of a ball
And there's people eatin' food and
Dancin' up and down the hall
So let the party roll on
And let the good times roll-oh oh oh
There ain't nothin' half as crazy
As a Louisiana fais do-do

[Outro]
Oh oh oh
There ain't nothin' half as crazy
As a Louisiana fais do-do
Fais do-do
Fais do-do
Oh oh oh oh
