| [VERSE 1] |
| Way down in Louisiana, south of New Orleans |
| There’s a bar out on the bayou filled with cajun queens |
| You can go there for the party, you can go there for romance |
| But the latest main attraction is a funky southern dance |
| There ain’t no cover charge, spend your money at the bar |
| Or you can buy a little shine outa Joe’s mason jar |
| Got a sign out by the road that they light up every night |
| Says everybody’s welcome here at Club Delight |
| [VERSE 2] |
| When the boys come calling on Friday night |
| We jump into the truck and head to Club Delight |
| To see the local town beauties on the wooden dance floor |
| And the boys up on the tables screaming more, more, more |
| They shake it to the left, they shake it to the right |
| They put their hands in the air, man it’s really outa sight |
| They come from miles around, driving halfway thru the night |
| To do the alligator shuffle down at Club Delight |
| [CHORUS] |
| The whole town’s talking bout Club Delight |
| Where everybody goes to start their weekend right |
| They do the alligator shuffle every Friday night |
| At a bar out on the bayou called the Club Delight |
| [VERSE 3] |
| The joint starts jumpin bout a half past ten |
| But we go a little early just to make sure we get in |
| They got rattlesnakes and alligators hanging from the wall |
| Big Henry, he’s the bouncer, must be seven foot tall |
| And over in the corner Mr. Jones will shine your boots |
| With his own special polish made from old cypress roots |
| A little past the jukebox, beyond the kitchen door |
| We got our own little table right beside the dance floor |
| [VERSE 4] |
| Moses and the Possums running up and down the stage |
| Been around since the Bible but they look bout half their age |
| They got their own local version of the Cotton Eyed Joe |
| They been doing it that way since before the radio |
| When Moses grabs the microphone and cranks up that guitar |
| He gets the girls all excited, makes em dance up on the bar |
| Keeps the whole place rockin til the early morning light |
| Doing the alligator shuffle down at Club Delight |
| [REPEAT CHORUS] |
