Story Behind the Song
In a New Orleans state of mind.
Lyrics
Bayou Bounce (Hoo Doo Queen)
Intro: (E7#9th with feeling)
(E7#9th)
I'm gonna tell you all a story 'bout a girl I know, she taught me the Bayou Bounce
A gypsy queen down in New Orleans, she was a black cat, ready to pounce
She teased me right on, out of my chair, and out onto that old dance floor
Some Hoo Doo here and some Hoo Doo there, and I knew I was in for more...
(A) (G) (E7#9th)
That's when I learned, to do the Bayou Bounce
(A) (G) (E7#9th)
That's when I learned, to do the Bayou Bounce
She wore leopard skin, she fit right in, she had flowers in her hair
She stood in front of me, so I couldn't see, she had already set the snare
I was on the move, and as we hit our groove, her Hoo Doo, filled the air
As I closed right in, she twisted that pin, and dragged me to her lair
That's when I learned, to do the Bayou Bounce
That's when I learned, to do the Bayou Bounce
-----------------lead--------------------
We Bounced all night, and into the day, the Hoo Doo, it would not stop
Our feet wouldn't move, and we couldn't groove, the pin had already dropped
A little hoochie coo, with my lady new, you know she was my Hoo Doo Queen
She made me feel, like love was real, and I was her love machine ...
And that's how I learned, to do the Bayou Bounce
And that's how I learned, to do the Bayou Bounce
And that's how I learned, to do the Bayou Bounce
And that's how I learned, to do the Bayou Bounce
Bounce, Bounce...
Bounce, Bounce...
(Fade Out)
