Lyrics of
Papa Noel

Hey Beau let's go and get pirogue and push-pole down the bayou
I want to see the Christmas Tree dance o-fais dodo
Have a big time and cut a shine where all will be gay-o
Oh Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou

Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma chère ami-o
So ring the chimes it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
Oh Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou


See ma Nannan and ma Parrain I know they'll all be there-o
See Ol' Quelqu'un and Mamoun Bébé and Jo-Jo
See Jolivet oh my sweet pet and get me some sugar
Oh Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou

So roll the rug let's kiss and hug and let's all be gay-o
A merry Christmas to you all and a happy bonne année-o
I'm gonna dance all through the night 'til daylight with my babe-o
Oh Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou


Dionne wants a push-y-on a pistolette and yo-yo
My Jolivet oh my sweet pet Lord cher ami-o
Oh Auntie Luce will cook the goose and she will serve the gumbo
Oh Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou

Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma chère ami-o
So ring the chimes it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
Oh Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou
