Fais Do Do Lyrics

Les le bon temps rouler

Hey baby, won't you stop what you're doin'
Go on home, put your red dress on
Tell you mama, I said not to worry
I'll have you home before the break of dawn

Sonnier's got his squeeze box pumping
Thibadeaux's got his fiddle out
Meet me over by the side of the river
There's big doin’s down at Boudreaux's house

Take my bateaux down to the bayou
Pole on over to the fais do do
Don't be late, don't keep me waitin'
Everybody's gonna go

I wanna be there when the band starts playin'
Zydeco music makes me wanna dance
Sun's goin' down and a full moon's shinin'
Mighty fine night for the big romance

I've got a question, I just might pop it
I know something that you don't know
I got a ring of gold in my pocket
Tonight's the night and you can't say no

Take my bateaux down to the bayou
Pole on over to the fais do do
Don't be late, don't keep me waitin'
Everybody's gonna go

Take my bateaux down to the bayou
Pole on over to the fais do do
Don't be late, don't keep me waitin'
Everybody's gonna go

Let the good times roll

Les le bon temps rouler

Hey baby, won't you stop what you're doin'

Take my bateaux down to the bayou

Take my bateaux down to the bayou

Don't be late, don't keep me waitin'
Everybody's gonna go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
