Lyrics
Way down in Louisiana ('ana)
Down in Cajun land (land)
Folks got something going (yeah)
Something like (yeah)
Niki Hoeky to tootsie
I got a man on the chain gang
I dig him on the scoobydoo
Dig him on a scuba-die
You old boog-a-boo you (you old boog-a-boo)
You ooh boog-a-boo you, yeah baby (you old boog-a-boo)
Get a hip to the consultation of the boolawee
Good golly sweet Charlie (golly)
Everything is copacetic now
Boog-a-boo, hey, look at you
What I'd like to do to you, boy
You old boog-a-boo you (you old boog-a-boo)
You ooh boog-a-boo you, yeah baby (you old boog-a-boo)
Get your hip to the consultation of the boolawee
Ooh, Niki, Niki, Niki Hoeky (Niki Hoeky)
Your pappy's doing time in the pokey (in the pokey)
Your family got busted
Y'all can't be trusted
What I'd like to do to you, boy
You old boog-a-boo you (you old boog-a-boo)
You ooh boog-a-boo you, yeah baby (you old boog-a-boo)
Get hip to the consultation of the boolawee
Ooh, ooh, ooh wee, baby
Niki, Niki, Niki Hoeky (Niki Hoeky)
Your pappy's doing time in the pokey (in the pokey)
Niki, Niki, Niki Hoeky (Niki Hoeky)
Sure doing time in the pokey (busted)
You're only good for sweet lovin', puddin'
Niki, Niki, Niki Hoeky (Niki Hoeky)
Ah, Niki, Niki, Niki Hoeky (Niki Hoeky)
