	Is a place to wash your jeans						Is a place to wash your jeans
	And I wouldn't be the least surprised						And I wouldn't be the least surprised
	If you were hungry for a plate of greens						If you were hungry for a plate of greens
	She beckoned me on up the stairs						She beckoned me on up the stairs
	For she'd done made up her mind						For she'd done made up her mind
	Said take off your hat and						Said take off your hat and
	kick off your boots						kick off your boots
	And leave your pride behind						And leave your pride behind
4	Ooh Jambalaya						She was turnin' tricks and nothing clicked	4
1							And the room was black as pitch	1
2							She had me backed up against the wall	2
3							I was fumbling for the switch	3
4								4
5							I could hear her crack the shutters	5
6							As I felt a little draft	6
7							When she gave me a shove into the tub	7
8							And said it's time to take your bath	8
9								9
10							I lay there in my stockinged feet	10
11							I was soaked from head to toe	11
12							At the same time down on Rampart Street	12
13							I heard the trumpet blow	13
14								14
15							Sparks started poppin' from an old tin cup	15
16							Sitting on the window sill	16
17							The whole place smelled like matches	17
18							And onions on the grill	18
19								19
20							I was catchin' cold and I told her so	20
21							As I let out a little cough	21
22							She told me since my pants were clean	22
23							Why don't I just dry off	23
24								24
25							I found myself a little tea-towel	25
26							Wrapped it around my waist	26
27							I was standin' there half naked	27
28							When I noticed we were face to face	28
29								29
30							And now it seemed the picture's	30
31							Gettin' pretty strange	31
32							Stripped bare in her chamber and	32
33							I hadn't even asked her name	33
34								34
35							I started to inquire	35
36							She knocked me upside the head	36
37							My noggin felt on fire	37
38							As she pulled me into bed	38
39								39
40							You needn't ask no questions	40
41							Of the things that don't concern you	41
42							If you aren't afraid of the fire son	42
43							Fire it won't burn you	43
	She took me down to a secret place						She took me down to a secret place
	In the bayou of her blankets						In the bayou of her blankets
	She offered to share her bourbon						She offered to share her bourbon
	I thanked her then I drank it						I thanked her then I drank it
	Thru a small crack in the ceiling						Thru a small crack in the ceiling
	Burst the Louisiana moon						Burst the Louisiana moon
	It shone down on our bodies						It shone down on our bodies
	And we began to croon						And we began to croon
	Like a couple of coyotes						Like a couple of coyotes
	We were howling thru the night						We were howling thru the night
	And I swear they were a beatin' those						And I swear they were a beatin' those
	Congo drums outside						Congo drums outside
5	Ooh Jambalaya						I told her she was crazy	5
44							And she replied it's true	44
45							And she finally introduced herself	45
46							As the famous Marie Laveau	46
47								47
48							I said now come on darlin'	48
49							She died a century ago	49
50							Don't believe the paper she said	50
51							It simply isn't so	51
52								52
53							I shot back that's impossible	53
54							There ain't a ghost of a chance	54
55							But I wouldn't turn a pretty ghost down	55
56							If she asked me up to dance	56
	We laughed until the mornin'						We laughed until the mornin'
	By then my pants had dried						By then my pants had dried
6	I picked up my hat and						I picked up my hat and pulled on my boots	6
9	pulled on my boots							9
	And I gathered up my pride						And I gathered up my pride
	I figured she had done stepped out						I figured she had done stepped out
	I didn't see her anywhere						I didn't see her anywhere
	And I set out to find her						And I set out to find her
	I headed on downstairs						I headed on downstairs
	Got down to the bottom						Got down to the bottom
	I couldn't believe my eyes						I couldn't believe my eyes
	Gone were all the bottles						Gone were all the bottles
	And the remedy supplies						And the remedy supplies
10	Ooh Jambalaya							10
11								11
	I shouted out for Marie						I shouted out for Marie
	I darted out the door						I darted out the door
	An old man on the wooden porch said						An old man on the wooden porch said
	What you in there for						What you in there for
	Son you got no business						Son you got no business
	The hoodoo store's been closed						The hoodoo store's been closed
	Long as I remember						Long as I remember
	A century I suppose						A century I suppose
	But Mister I just spent the night						But Mister I just spent the night
	With a young gal named Laveau						With a young gal named Laveau
	He said the Widow Paris						He said the Widow Paris
	Done had a little laugh on you						Done had a little laugh on you
	I said you mean to tell me						I said you mean to tell me
	That was the voodooin'						That was the voodooin'
