Beausoleil - Papa St. Nick

{Verse 1}
Papa Saint Nick's comin' up the bayou (Ho, ho, ho, ho ho ho)
Got a mountain full of (?...) on the red
{bando?} (Ho, ho, ho, ho ho ho)

{French: Rapelle qui to' {??} comparduit?}
Gonna pay a visit to you and me
Better hope you haven't been *mauvais* no no...
Get ready, Papa Saint Nick is comin' up, is comin' up the bayou!

{Verse 2}
Alligator Ruth has got a light on his nose (Ho, ho, ho, ho ho ho)
Showing Papa Saint Nick which way to go (Ho, ho, ho, ho ho ho)
He passes through the water while he sits and dreams
Of a cold glass of milk and a plate of *pralines*
And if he's-a lucky get a cup of gumbo...
Get ready, Papa Saint Nick is comin' up, is comin' up the bayou!

{Verse 3}
Papa Saint Nick, you can't see him, no
Sneakin' 'round the tugs and the old shrimp boats
He knows he can't do it all by himself
So he brings along a bunch of Cajun elves
To find every
{touploche?} and row to shore...
Get ready, Papa Saint Nick is comin' up, is comin' up the bayou!

{Verse 4}
Papa Saint Nick's comin' up the bayou (Ho, ho, ho, ho ho ho)
Get ready, Papa Saint Nick is comin' up, is comin' up the bayou!
Got a mountain full of (?...) on the red
{bando?} (Ho, ho, ho, ho ho ho)

{French: Rammelle que toujours allouais a compardruit?}
Gonna pay a visit to you and me
Better hope you haven't been *mauvais* no no...
Get ready, Papa Saint Nick is comin' up, is comin' up the bayou!
Get ready, Papa Saint Nick is comin' up, is comin' up the bayou!
