"Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler" lyrics
(feat. Trombone Shorty)
Mama said, don't let nobody ever bring you down
If they go one way, best to just turn yourself around
Things might not be like you always dreamed they would
But you gotta take the bad just like you take the good
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna throw away my blues
One foot in front of the other, my sister my brother
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Just like them folks down home say
Don't let your blue skies turn to gray
Just say
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Can't have sunshine without a lil bit of rain
Those who want joy gotta deal with a little pain
Rising above means you gotta start from below
Like the good book says, you gonna reap what you sow
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna throw away my blues
One foot in front of the other, my sister my brother
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Just like them folks down home say
Don't let your blue skies turn to gray
Just say
Laissez les bons temps rouler
If they go one way, best to just turn yourself around
Things might not be like you always dreamed they would
But you gotta take the bad just like you take the good
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna throw away my blues
One foot in front of the other, my sister my brother
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Just like them folks down home say
Don't let your blue skies turn to gray
Just say
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Can't have sunshine without a lil bit of rain
Those who want joy gotta deal with a little pain
Rising above means you gotta start from below
Like the good book says, you gonna reap what you sow
Tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna throw away my blues
One foot in front of the other, my sister my brother
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Just like them folks down home say
Don't let your blue skies turn to gray
Just say
Laissez les bons temps rouler
