You hear that?
[Db]
That's to remind me to sing Jambo [Db] Lai
[Gb]
[A] Ah, that's a little Cajun beef
That's a river
And that's a dish of fish and rice
Ah, that's a bottle
I guess that means he likes me
And that's the name of my first record
Goodbye Joe, we gotta go, me [E] oh my
And we gotta go, walk the free road [A] down the bayou
Said my Eva, sweetest one of me [E] oh my
Son of a gun, we'll have to be gone [A] by you
Jambo Lai, fish pie, feel [E] it come through
Because tonight I'm gonna sleep my [A] share of me
Wanna pick a chop, root chop, and [E] be gay
[E] Son of a gun, we'll have to be gone [A] by you
[E]
[Em] [A]
[E]
[A]
I can't help but [E] place this buzz
Head can't pose, come to see
Gonna [A] fly the judge and
Sit dressed in style, go hog wild, [E] me oh my
Son of a gun, we'll have to be gone [A]
by you
Jambo Lai, fish pie, [E] feel it come through
Because tonight I'm gonna sleep my [A] share of me
Wanna pick a chop, root chop, [E] and be gay
Son of a gun, we'll have to be gone [A] by you
[Bb] [F]

Jambo Lai, [Bb]
fish [F] pie, feel it come through
Because tonight I'm gonna sleep my [Bb] share of me
Wanna pick a chop, [F] root chop, and be gay
Son of a gun, we'll have to be gone [Bb] by you
