Down in New Orleans, in Lucky's din

He wouldn't deal y'all for a 5th of gin

One dude wanted a bottle of wine

Hit that dude yes he did up for a dollar and a dime

Fire, on the bayou     (4x)

Take a little toke on your smoke

Buy yourself a bottle of wine

Cool, cool wine going down your throat

Don't try and tell me don't make you feel fine

Fire, on the bayou     (4x)

Bb G DCD x4

Am  G  F  C-Dm HITS  x4

Fire, on the bayou     (4x)

I got a nickel now, you got a dime

Let's get together and have a good time

Goin' to buy a fifth, going to buy a joint

when you gettin' down now, you doin' things right"

(Light your) Fire, on the bayou     (4x)

swamp water running thru my veins

mississippi river can't be tamed

row my piro in the middle of the night

uptown rulers, gonna be alright.

Riff: DD CC AA AbAb G   DCAF  (play riff 2x for each line. Improvise, etc.)

Now, I lay me down to sleep. Ooh, I just can't find a beat

Flash light (oh, I will never dance!). Flash light.

Flash light. Flash light

Pararadirarararararara Oh, it's no use

Flash light, Red light. Neon light. Ooh, stop light

Now I lay me down to sleep, I guess I'll go count the sheep

Oh, but I will never dance, ...

Break: (Oh, don't make me do it)

Most of all he needs the funk (shine it) Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Pararadirarararararara, Pararadirarararararara

Flash light, Flash light (oh ho ho!) Spot light (spot light)

Neon light (neon light) Street light (street light)

Everybody's got a little light under the sun

Shinin' on the funk (Shinin' on the funk) Hoh! Shinin' on the funk

Most of all he need the funk Help him find the funk

(Pararadirarararararara) Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk

Most of all he needs the funk, Help him find the funk
