Creola In my Sola
I loved what they were sayin'
I loved what they were playin'
Creola
Creola on my victrola
Makes me feel like dancin
Fall in love romancin the mel-o -dy
Creola Creola Creola for me
I remember as a child all the happiness and smiles
That flowed around my grandma's Sunday table
While Auntie May was sayin' grace
Papa T would sneak a taste
Catch a funny look from my cousin Mabel
Then daddy'd beat the drum
The old folks start to hum
Sing the only song that we all knew
Ambiance so fine dancin' drinkin' wine
Sing about the lifestyle on the bayou
Creola In my Sola
I loved what they were sayin'
I loved what they were playin'
Creola
Creola on my victrola
Makes me feel like dancin
Fall in love romancin the mel-o -dy
Creola Creola Creola for me
It's in the food it's in the mud
It's in the mood it's in the blood
Dmin7 G7 C-(2-finger 5th+2nd strings: Dmin-Ebmin-Emin)
It's a spicy kind of life Creola
It's in the food it's in the mud
It's in the mood it's in the blood
Creola Creola Creola for me
(Instrumental two verses)
Well the years have come and gone
Still the old song lingers on
I keep it in my heart with fond affection
Like the family good luck charm
That keeps away the harm
Creola's always there for my protection
(Chorus 3)
Creola, good for your sola
I loved what they were sayin'
I loved what they were playin'
Creola
Creola on my victrola
Makes me feel like dancin'
Fall in love romacin' the melody
Creola Creola Creola for me
It's in the mood it's in the blood
It's in the food it's in the mud
It's a spicy kind of life
Creola
Just repeat the words I say
About a thousand times a day
Creola Creola Creola for me
It's in the mood it's in the blood
It's in the food it's in the mud
It's a spicy kind of life
Creola
Forget about the mumbo-jumbo
Hello to the world of gumbo
Creola Creola Creola for me
