C’est La-La  (Music: Aart de Bruin. Words: John den Exter)  

New York City, the early fall
Of eighty-seven, as I recall  
A tuesday night at the Lone Star Cafe
There he played his songs, while sitting down
With his starry smile and golden crown
The King of Zydeco: Clifton Chenier

While his brother Cleveland did his funny dance    
I was happy that I got a chance  
To see this legend, still doing his stuff
Cause for a long time I’ve known his songs 
So all night long I sang along
We all loved it, we could not get enough

Big Mamou, Lafayette, Grand Coteaux, et toi
'Les haricots' became the 'Zydeco'
C’est La-La, la musique pour moi

Only one month after, on the radio  
A voice said: "'The King of Zydeco,
Clifton Chenier, is no more….''

But his spirit is still going strong
We’re paying tribute with this song  
To his music, that we all adore

Big Mamou, Lafayette, Grand Coteaux, et toi
'Les haricots' became the 'Zydeco'
C’est La-La, la musique pour moi

this song will be recorded live for the new LIVE CD  "C'est La-La" 
from the Dutch Cajun band  Les Chats Acadiens. See: Agenda
