I fell in love in lafayette
To the accordion and the two step
She stole my heart with that sizzling rhythm

waltzing on the back porch grinning

where license plates they line the walls

with Christmas lights and cattle horns
the band strikes new friends come to call
dragging you onto that old wooden floor


Oh Kelly Oh Kelly wont you be my polka dot baby
Oh Kelly Oh Kelly I want to take you in my arms tonight

Oh Kelly Oh Kelly wont you be my polka dot baby
I want to take you down to where the bayou flows and make you my baby tonight


In the Blue Moon Saloon they know how to play
Guitar and fiddle players stand real straight
bass and drums in the pocket all night long

with jess leg singing old cajun songs
and now its getting late
sparks ready to leave

Kelly and her friends are still staring at me
sitting on the porch with claude and guitars
singing songs to those southern stars


Oh Kelly Oh Kelly wont you be my polka dot baby
Oh Kelly Oh Kelly I want to take you in my arms tonight

Oh Kelly Oh Kelly wont you be my polka dot baby
I want to take you down to
Where the bayou flows and make you my baby tonight


I want to take you down to
Where the bayou flows and make you my baby tonight
