Eh, La Bas - Kid Ory, The Creole Jazz Band

mo lenme la kizin!

I love the kitchen!

Mo manje plen, mo bwa diven,

I eat a lot, I drink wine,

e sa pa kout ariyen.

and it costs me nothing.

Ye tchwe kochon, ye tchwe lapen,

They kill a pig, they kill a rabbit,

e mo manje plen.

and I eat a lot.

Ye fe gonmbo, mo manje tro,

They make gumbo, I eat too much,

e sa fe mon malad.

and that makes me sick
