Creola Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

By: Jimmy Buffett, Ralph MacDonald, William Salter 

Chorus: 

Creola 

In my sola 

I loved what they were sayin' 

I loved what they were playin' 

Creola 

Creola 

On my victrola 

Makes me feel like dancin' 

Fall in love romancin' the melody 

Creola, Creola, Creola for me 

I remember as a child all the happiness and smiles 

Flowed around my grandma's Sunday table 

While Auntie Mae was sayin' grace 

Papa T would sneak a taste 

Catch a funny look from my cousin Mabel

Then daddy'd beat the drum 

The old folks start to hum 

Sing the only song that we all knew 

Ambiance so fine, dancin' drinkin' wine 

Sing about the lifestyle on the bayou

In my sola (sola)

It's in the mood, it's in the blood 

It's in the food, it's in the mud 

It's a spicy kind of life 

Creola 

It's in the mood, it's in the blood 

It's in the food, it's in the mud 

Creola, Creola, Creola for me 

(pan instrumental) 

The years have come and gone 

Still the old song lingers on 

I keep it in my heart with fond affection 

Like the family good luck charm 

That keeps away the harm 

Creola's always there for my protection 

Chorus: 

Creola (Creola) 

Good for your sola (sola) 

Loved what they were sayin' (sayin') 

Loved what they were playin' (playin')

On my Victrola (Victrola) 

Makes me feel like dancin' (dancin') 

Fall in love romancin' the melody 

(Do do do do, do do do do) 

Creola, Creola (Creola), Creola for me 

It's in the mood, it's in the blood 

It's in the food, it's in the mud 

It's a spicy kind of life 

Creola 

Just repeat the words I say 

About a thousand times a day 

Creola, Creola 

It's in the mood, it's in the blood 

It's in the food, it's in the mud 

It's a spicy kind of life 

Creola 

Just forget about the mumbo jumbo 

Hello to the world of gumbo 

Creola, Creola 

It's in the mood, it's in the blood 

It's in the food, it's in the mud 

It's a spicy kind of life 

Creola 

It's in the mood, it's in the blood 

It's in the food, it's in the mud 

Creola, Creola
