When the moon is high
And the silver waters rise
And the gentle breeze shakes the cypress trees
There's a place that comes to mind

When the sun is bright
Lovin' everywhere we like
Now every slow and strong, let you drift along
Here, you leave your cares behind

Night and day
Hear the sweet music play
On the bayou, dreams can come true in every way
Mon chеr, baby, night and day

Hey, allouz, mon cher
We bе dancin' and romancin' night and day
Day and night, night and day

Now, nobody knows
Oh, where that ol' river's gonna flow
Every bend is new, every mile is true
And there's magic all around, oh, child

Let the good times roll
Oh, feel it in your heart and soul
When the rhythm swings
It's the beat that sings
Party's come to town
Night and day
Hear the sweet music play
On the bayou, dreams can come true in every way
Mon cher, baby

Night and day
Hey, allouz, mon cher
We be dancin' and romancin' night and day
Night and day
Day and night
When you feel that beat

From your head down to your feet
The river sure goes on and on

Night and day
Hear the sweet music play
On the bayou, dreams can come true in every way
Mon cher, baby, night and day

Hey, allouz, mon cher
We be dancin' and romancin' night and day
Day and night, night and day
Day and night, night and day
