New Orleans second-line brass and zydeco, accordion, washboard, trumpet and trombone, a swinging funky beat and a party chorus. An anthem for the US state of Louisiana, proud, warm, radio quality, clear English diction. [Vocals: male and female duet vocals] [Lyrics] [Verse 1] Trumpet on a Tremé corner, the second line rolls by Cypress knees in the bayou where the brown pelicans fly Accordion in Lafayette, a two-step on the floor Louisiana, you're the spice that leaves me wanting more [Chorus] Bayou sunshine, laissez les bons temps rouler Magnolias in the morning and a brass band on parade From Baton Rouge to New Orleans, from Shreveport to the Gulf Louisiana, you're the gumbo that I love [Verse 2] Beads are flying off the balconies on a Mardi Gras night Crawfish boiling in the backyard, the whole family in sight The river bending past the Quarter like it has for all these years Louisiana, you can laugh me right out of my tears [Chorus] Bayou sunshine, laissez les bons temps rouler Magnolias in the morning and a brass band on parade From Baton Rouge to New Orleans, from Shreveport to the Gulf Louisiana, you're the gumbo that I love [Bridge] Union, justice, confidence, and a little bit of sin Louisiana, let the good times roll again [Chorus] Bayou sunshine, laissez les bons temps rouler Magnolias in the morning and a brass band on parade From Baton Rouge to New Orleans, from Shreveport to the Gulf Louisiana, you're the gumbo that I love
