No fancy sports car, we got four wheel drives

No caviar, we got red beans and rice

No toy poodles in designer clothesBut I got a bird dog with a hell of a nose

No custom yachts, or pretty sailboats

We got big shrimp trawlers and little pirogues

No black tie parties, with catered cuisine

We like crawfish boils and our favorite blue jeans

Ahh... that′s the way we do it, that's the way it′s done

We like to add a little spice to our Cajun cook un'

From the Jambalaya, to the Etouffee

That's the way we do it, in the other LA

No maids or butlers for cleaning the floor

We all chip in and the kids got chores

No chauffeured limos to drive us around

We just jump in the truck when we go to town

No high priced boutiques on Rodeo Drive

Those half price specials will do just fine

No movie stars down on Sunset Strip

But if you come for Mardi Gras you might see some...

Well that′s the way we do it, that′s the way it's done

Down there on the bayou they can sure have fun

That′s the way we Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler

That's the way we do it, in the other LA

We ain′t got a lot of money to spend

We're millionaires when it comes to family and friends

Ya need a hand we′ll be the first ones there

Stand up for the flag and bow our heads in prayer

AHH... that's the way we do it, that's the way it′s done

A little "comment ca va" and "how′s you momma and dem"

That's the way we do it, every night and day

That′s the way we do it, in the other LA

AHH.that's the way we do it, that′s the way it's done

That′s the way we do it, I'm tellin ya son

That's the way we do it, every night and day

That′s the way we do it, ain′t nothing to it

That's the way we do it, in the other LA
