Papa Noel Harry Connick, Jr.

[Intro]
That sound like Christmas in Louisiana, y'all
Come on up here and get you some
Now

[Verse 1]
Hey Beau, let's go and get pirogue and push-pole down the bayou
I want to see the Christmas tree, dance-o fais dodo
Have a big time and cut a shine where all will be gay-o
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou

[Chorus]
Papa Noël will bring the bells and all will be gay-o
I'm gonna be at the Christmas tree with my ma chère amie-o
So ring the chimes, it's Christmas time, pick up that old banjo
Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou

[Post-Chorus]
Hey
Oh
Sure feels good

[Verse 2]
See ma Mannan and ma Parrain, I know they'll all be there-o
See ol' Quelqu'un and Mamoun, Bébé and Jo-Jo
See Jolivet, that's my sweet pet, I'ma get me some sugar
Oh, Santa Claus will come tonight down on the bayou
