Cajun Twisters Lyrics
Get on your backstep where you belong
Leave your shirt and tie undone
Cajun twister all night long
You fight so hard to get your name
What big eyes you got grandma
On every tongue in every brain
What big eyes you got grandma
How in the hell can you complain
What big eyes you got grandma
Privacy's gone down the drain
Get on your backstep where you belong
Leave your shirt and tie undone
Cajun twister all night long
Pay attention
You fight so hard to get your name
What big ears you got grandma
On every tongue in every brain
What big ears you got grandma
How in the hell can you complain
What big ears you got grandma
Privacy's gone down the drain
You fight so hard to get your name
What a big mouth you got grandma
On every tongue in every brain
What a big mouth you got grandma
How in the hell can you complain
What a big mouth you got grandma
Privacy's gone down the drain
Get on your backstep....
You fight so hard to get your name
Please don't eat my leg grandma
On every tongue in every brain
Please don't eat my leg grandma
How in the hell can you complain
What a bore you popstars are
Privacy's gone down the drain
I literally asked Adam Ant himself what this song was about. He only replied that it was a "Cajun Song". I don't really think it had a deep meaning when he wrote it, generally, but beyond that, there is not a lot of information about this song.
I searched online and found an image of an old cassette: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1HHnd3q17L.SY355.jpg
It's a zydeco tape called Good Rockin' by Rocking Dopsie and the Cajun Twisters.
The chorus is a mystery, but the verse seems to me to be an older family member's negative reaction to his path to success.
