Oh my sweet Lafayette, how I?m gonna miss you You feel so good Lafayette, now I?ve come to greet you Tell all my friends I've come back again I couldn't stay away, I was gone only a day But I'm comin' back to my sweet Lafayette I'm goin' down to Lafayette, I don't care how long I'm gone It's so hard to leave you, Lafayette, now I know where I belong When that sweet fiddle sounds and Clifton gets down That music sounds so good to me, I just might dance until three And I gotta get back to my sweet Lafayette Fiddle solo Oh, those boys in Lafayette, smilin' so pretty Those sweet boys in Lafayette, they sure do look good to me We danced all night long to a sweet Cajun song Drinkin' and jivin' 'til dawn, I could dance on and on Doin' a two-step in my sweet Lafayette Take me back Lafayette, way down on the bayou I'm your girl, Lafayette, I'm gonna hang around you Eat that gumbo and rollin' and tumble And do crazy things every night, soon I'll be feelin' alright When I get back to my sweet Lafayette When I get back to my sweet Lafayette
