No fancy sports car, we got four wheel drives
No caviar, we got red beans and rice
No toy poodles in designer clothesBut I got a bird dog with a hell of a nose
No custom yachts, or pretty sailboats
We got big shrimp trawlers and little pirogues
No black tie parties, with catered cuisine
We like crawfish boils and our favorite blue jeans
Ahh... that′s the way we do it, that's the way it′s done
We like to add a little spice to our Cajun cook un'
From the Jambalaya, to the Etouffee
That's the way we do it, in the other LA
No maids or butlers for cleaning the floor
We all chip in and the kids got chores
No chauffeured limos to drive us around
We just jump in the truck when we go to town
No high priced boutiques on Rodeo Drive
Those half price specials will do just fine
No movie stars down on Sunset Strip
But if you come for Mardi Gras you might see some...
Well that′s the way we do it, that′s the way it's done
Down there on the bayou they can sure have fun
That′s the way we Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler
That's the way we do it, in the other LA
We ain′t got a lot of money to spend
We're millionaires when it comes to family and friends
Ya need a hand we′ll be the first ones there
Stand up for the flag and bow our heads in prayer
AHH... that's the way we do it, that's the way it′s done
A little "comment ca va" and "how′s you momma and dem"
That's the way we do it, every night and day
That′s the way we do it, in the other LA
AHH.that's the way we do it, that′s the way it's done
That′s the way we do it, I'm tellin ya son
That's the way we do it, every night and day
That′s the way we do it, ain′t nothing to it
That's the way we do it, in the other LA
