Bloom on the Bayou

Bloom, O' Bloom,

Bloom on the Bayou

From the dawn to the eve

Of the next day.

It looks so new to you, I know,

But if you look down deep into your soul,

O' Bloom, you'll find being a Cajun

Ain't all that bad.

Bloom, O' Bloom,

Eating crawdaddies and all, and look at you,

You're just sitting so high and pretty now.

Creole girls adore and glorify you

And make you king of the Mardi Gras strip,

And with every little trip,

You're finding that country road.

Bloom, O' Bloom,

Sailing down the gentle waves

Of the Queen's rippling, scintillating wake.

You are one with the heart of south Acadia

And sprayed and baptized with the spirit of France.

You are cleansed, given passage to be free.
