SUGAR HOODOO
Smith/Lyon/Hangan/Solem 2006 BMI
Sugar Hoodoo from Poncetrane
Born in the voodoo and the rain.
Mama trained him to play real pretty
Early one morning in New York City.
He got lonely and turned around
Sugar came drifting back to town.
For beans and rice to get his fill
And give the town folks a Cajun thrill.
Zydeco it’s a squeeze box shoe
The reputation is grand
He plays the Zydeco from here to Mexico
He’s ready to show his hand.
January 3rd I know the day
Sugar Hoodoo came to play
Moon was rising above the town
And the Bon Tons Roulez when he laid it down
Me and my honey heard the news
The Bon Ton Roulez and the vulez vous
Put on her red lips, the slippery hips
Kicking off her shoes
Zydeco it’s a squeeze box shoe
The reputation is grand
He plays the Zydeco from here to Mexico
He’s ready to show his hand.
