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

Papa Noel will bring the bells and all will be gay-o

I'm gonna be at the

Christmas tree with my mom chere ami-o

So ring the chimes, it's

Christmas time and pick the old banjo

Oh, Santa

Parrain, I know they'll all be there-o

See Ol' Quelqu'un and

Mamoun, Bebe and

Jo-JoSee Jolivet, oh, my sweet pet and get me some sugar

Oh, Santa

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 annee-o

I'm gonna dance all through the night, 'til daylight with my babe-o

Oh, Santa

Dionne wants a push-y-on, a pistolette and yo-yo

My Jolivet, oh, my sweet pet,

Lord cher ami-o

Oh, Auntie

So ring the chimes, it's

Christmas time and pick the old banjo

Oh, Santa
