Jingle, jangle, Jingle Bell
‘Tis the time for Père Noël
He’s our Cajun Santa Claus
Father Christmas, Sneaux Papa!
O’re the bayou, in his sleigh
He takes flight on holiday
Magic reindeer flying free
Gifts appear beneath the tree!
Heaux, heaux, heaux!
We got no snow!
Heaux, heaux, heaux!
Or mistletoe!
In the bayou, we are blessed
With a Southland Winterfest
Twinkle, twinkle like a star
Southern yuletide is bizarre
Wearing shorts, not overcoats
Got no sleds—just fishing boats
Carols sung with Southern drawls,
Magnolia garlands deck the halls.
Heaux, heaux, heaux!
Instead of snow,
Heaux, heaux, heaux!
We got Zydeco!
Bonfires light the levee’s way
To guide reindeer and Santa’s sleigh
Through the marshland, through the creek
To rooftops while the children sleep.
When they wake on Christmas morn,
A magical spirit is reborn
Of glad tidings to one and all
As we Southerners shout, Merry Christmas, ya’ll!
