That Was Your Mother (with Good Rockin' Doopsie & The Twisters)

A long time ago, yeah
 Before you was born, dude
 When I was still single
 And life was great
 I held this job as a traveling salesman
 That kept me moving from state to state
 Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
 State of Louisiana
 Wondering where a city boy could go
 To get a little conversation drink a little red wine
 Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls dancing to Zydeco
 ♪
 Along come a young girl
 She's pretty as a prayer book
 Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
 I said, good gracious can this be my luck
 If that's my prayer book Lord, let us pray
 Well I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
 State of Louisiana
 Wondering what a city boy could do
 To get her in a conversation drink a little red wine
 Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier the King of the Bayou
 'Ei-toi
 ♪
 Well, that was your mother
 And that was your father
 Before you was born dude
 When life was great
 But you are the burden of my generation
 I sure do love you
 But let's get that straight
 Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
 Across the street from The Public
 Heading down to the Lone Star Café
 Maybe get a little conversation drink a little red wine
 Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
 Dancing the night away
