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 [bad word] o
Oh, Santa Claus [bad word] tonight, down on the bayou
Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be [bad word] o
I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma ch?re ami-o
So ring the chimes, it's Christmas time and pick the old banjo
Oh, Santa Claus [bad word] tonight, down on the bayou

 [bad word] interlude]

See ma Nannan and ma Parrain, I know they'll all be there-o,
See Ol' Quelqu'un and Mamoun, B?b? and Jo-Jo,
See Jolivet oh my sweet pet and get me some sugar,
Oh, Santa Claus [bad word] tonight, down on the bayou

So roll [bad word]  let's kiss and hug and let's all be [bad word] o,
merry Christmas to you all and a happy bonne ann?e-o
I'm gonna dance all through the night, 'til daylight with my babe-o,
Oh, Santa Claus [bad word] tonight, down on the bayou

 [bad word] interlude]

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 [bad word] tonight, down on the bayou

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