Hurry up my Joséphine, the hour’s getting late,
We gonna miss the 5 o’clock ferry and we gonna have to wait.
Down in Catahoula, they be having a Fais-Do-Do.
‘Cause I been saving up all my sugar cane money just so that we could go.
‘Cause when I hear the fiddle playing an old time Cajun song,
Moonlight on the bayou, gonna keep dancing all night long.
Dansé, hey, we gonna dance the night away,
Dansé collé, collé
Dansé.
Tonight is a night for romance,
Can I have the pleasure, the pleasure of this dance.
Ever since I turned seventeen and got my old man’s Chevrolet,
I been going every Saturday night to the old Bon Ton Roulet.
You know I love my dancing, I got a nice style don’t you know.
I just want to hold you tight and waltz you across the floor.
Cause when I hear the fiddle playing an old time Cajun song,
Moonlight on the bayou, I want to keep dancing all night long.
Dansé, we gonna dance the night away,
Dansé collé, collé
Dansé.
Tonight is a night for romance,
Can I have the pleasure, the pleasure of this dance.
