This song is about marrying Yvonne. Thibodaux Fontaineaux (their last names) the place is buzzin' "Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen" means that her family is coming to see her get married.

My Interpretation

@akimi10000 I dont agree. Yvonne was the name of his girlfriend and Thibodaux and Fontaineaux is the name of the place were the places they were going to dance and Yvonne was in a beauty contest of twelve local girls.
