But dey cant buy de twilight,Nor de green on de mash in de SpriniNor de kiss of de beeTo de fleur-de-lis,An so dey have left The Blessing of Civilization. De town owes more to de Frenchman Dan de Frenchman owes to de town. If I could tell, What I know so well, I would call some people down. Dey got deir pretty housesAn deir dam electricy cars,If dey tink a minuteDey wouldnt be in it,Except for ol Pete Navarre. Ol Pete was here wen dose Injun Was tick as de hair on de cow, An he an his gun An Harrison, Mek de smoke in de chimney now. 60.
