Chorus:
Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young mans dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain
Oh no, here ya coming down the road
With your cotton dress a swishing
You’re getting some attention
From all the boys in Thibodaux
Oh my, you’re really filling up their eyes
Smiling and a winking
I know what they’re thinking
But I’m the only one who loves you so
Repeat Chorus
Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know that you can tell it
You’re making me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me, you could make a red neck green
The way that you’re a looking
You got me a cooking
And I ain’t talking bout Etoufee’
Repeat Chorus (x2)
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside of my sweet Adalida
I’d swim the PonchartrainDid you think that I would laugh when you said I was small
Did you think that that would pass as if nothing at all
You say a lot of funny things, my little bunny
And I almost always laugh, but that's not really funny
You play the little bells and tell a good story
You bake delicious pie and that's enough for me
But I don't think that I'm your man, and you're my little honey
And I like what you have to say, but that's not really funny
You must not continue to wear my ?? like me
The neighbour children threw the window to the sea
The little boy will wipe his nose bacause it's runny
Then point at me and laugh, but that's not really funny
