"Creola" lyrics

Creola in my soul-a
I loved what they were sayin'
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
And sing the only song that we all knew
Ambiance so fine, dancin', drinkin' wine
Sing about the lifestyle on the bayou

Creola in my soul-a
I loved what they were sayin'
Loved what they were playin', Creola
Creola on my Victrola
Makes me feel like dancin'
Fall in love romancin' the melody (Doo doo doo doo doo)
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

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

Creola, good for your soul-a
I loved what they were sayin'
Loved what they were playin', Creola
Creola on my Victrola
Makes me feel like dancin'
Fall in love romancin' the melody (Doo doo doo doo doo)
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
