LAISSEZ FAIRE

by Bruce Daigrepont
(Bayou Pon Pon, ASCAP)
from Stir up the Roux on Rounder Records (#6016)

"When I wrote this song I envisioned a Cajun Bal de Maison or gathering similar to those my family has during the various holidays. Everyone either plays an instrument, sings or dances which can be a good cure for a worried mind." -- Bruce Diagrepont

LAISSEZ FAIRE


Laissez-faire, laissez-faire, ma jolie
Bon temps roule, allons danser, toute ia nuit
Oh, T-Pierre va jouer p'tit fer,
Boire la biere et jouer cuillere,
Laissez-faire, laissez-faire, ma jolie.

Si toi t'es presse et occupe, mon ami
Couriri ici, courir la-bas
Fais-ci et fais ca
Si toi tu chasses une place comme paradis,
On a ici un beau pays dans la Louisiane

Laissez-faire, laissez-faire, ma jolie
Bon temps roule, allons danser, toute ia nuit
Oh, T-Pierre va jouer p'tit fer,
Boire la biere et jouer cuillere,
Laissez-faire, laissez-faire, ma jolie.

Travailler c'est trop dur,
Et voler c'est pas bon,
C'est un "va et vient"
Pour avoir rien
Chere fais attantion
Si toi tu chasses un place comme paradis,
On a ici un beau pay dans la Louisiane.

Laissez-faire, laissez-faire, ma jolie
Bon temps roule, allons danser, toute ia nuit
Oh, T-Pierre va jouer p'tit fer,
Boire la biere et jouer cuillere,
Laissez-faire, laissez-faire, ma jolie.

LET IT BE


Let it be, let it be, my pretty one
Good times roll, let's dance all night long.
Oh, T-Pierre will play the triangle
Drink beer and play the spoons,
Let it be, let it be, my pretty one.

If you're rushed and busy, my friend,
Running here, running there,
doing this, doing that
If you're looking for a place like paradise,
We have here a beautiful country in Louisiana

Let it be, let it be, my pretty one
Good times roll, let's dance all night long.
Oh, T-Pierre will play the triangle
Drink beer and play the spoons,
Let it be, let it be, my pretty one.

Working is too hard
And stealing is not good
It's a going and a coming
To get nothing.
Dear, be careful

Let it be, let it be, my pretty one
Good times roll, let's dance all night long.
Oh, T-Pierre will play the triangle
Drink beer and play the spoons,
Let it be, let it be, my pretty one.
