He not from around here... but lemme tell 'em what we do around here (Yeah, yeah!)
Listen up!

Down by the riverside, hanky panky
Where them girls bad yes ma'am, please, and thank you ('Preciate it)
Where them boys ride slow, 'cause them roads is dangerous
It's a real thin line 'tween snakes and angels
Sun makin' me sweat (Sweat!)
Cognac on my breath
Crawfish with the cornbread
Yeah, this as real as it gets (Oh!)
Knick knack patty whack give a dog a bone
Bitch, I'm Willie Jones
You already know

You can find me out where the corn and the cotton grow
Way down South crackin' bones, slammin' dominoes
Welcome to the ratchet, black, zydeco rodeo
Boss hog, I'm a dog, I'm a billy goat
Down by the riverside, by the riverside (Yeah!)
Down by the riverside, by the riverside
Down by the riverside, by the riverside
This is how we throw it down, down by the riverside

Get that mud off my tires
Dirty South in the house, comin' straight out tha bayou (Yoo!)
We got that catfish fryin', comin' fresh off tha bottom
I gotta bad bitch with a buckshot ridin' shotty
Met her down in Tulane (Lane!)
So you know she got good brain (Brain!)
That Superdome, I'm a super gone
Lord knows I ain't no saint (Ohhh!)

You can find me out where the corn and the cotton grow
Way down South crackin' bones, slammin' dominoes
Welcome to the ratchet, black, zydeco rodeo
Boss hog, I'm a dog, I'm a billy goat
Down by the riverside, by the riverside (Yeah!)
Down by the riverside, by the riverside
Down by the riverside, by the riverside
This is how we throw it down, down by the riverside

You can find me out where the corn and the cotton grow
