There's a place I know youll want to go,
If you're ever feeling low,
For the happiest place beneath the sun,
Is Saturday night on bayou pon pon.
Oh the fiddles sing and the guitars ring,
They have no thought of care or pain,
It's time to dance their work is done,
It's Saturday night on bayou pon pon.
Oh sweet Marie she'll dance with me,
And such a sight youll never see,
Terese, Annette and Joleblon,
Will all be there at bayou pon pon.
Its a jamboree at St. Landree,
They have a good time, oh yes, oui!, oui!,
They come from St. Charles, St. James, St. John,
It's Saturday night on bayou pon pon.
