Creola

By: jimmy buffett, ralph macdonald, william salter

Chorus:

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 melody

Creola, creola, creola for me



I remember as a child all the happiness and smiles

Flowed around my grandma's sunday table

While auntie mae 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



Chorus:

Creola (creola)

In my sola (sola)

Loved what they were sayin' (sayin')

Loved what they were playin' (playin')

Creola



Creola (creola)

On my victrola (victrola)

Makes me feel like dancin' (dancin')

Fall in love romancin' the melody

(do do do do, do do do do)

Creola, 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



It's in the mood, it's in the blood

It's in the food, it's in the mud

Creola, creola, creola for me



(pan instrumental)



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:

Creola (creola)

Good for your sola (sola)

Loved what they were sayin' (sayin')

Loved what they were playin' (playin')

Creola



Creola (creola)

On my victrola (victrola)

Makes me feel like dancin' (dancin')

Fall in love romancin' the melody

(do do do do, do do do do)

Creola, 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



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 forget about the mumbo jumbo

Hello to the world of gumbo

Creola, creola



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



It's in the mood, it's in the blood

It's in the food, it's in the mud

Creola, creola
