[Verse] Down in the bayou where the cypress hums Stories rise like steam from the gumbo drums Ouzo in one hand crawfish in the other Spices mix like a long-lost lover [Chorus] Dance on the delta where the rivers meet Zorba and Zydeco keep the beat Opa echoes through the heat New Orleans Greek Cajun can't be beat [Verse 2] Moussaka on the table jambalaya in the air Accordion cries while the bouzouki dares We laugh we shout in a wild refrain A little Greek spice in a Cajun vein [Prechorus] Opa opa we spin around Zydeco rhythm shakes the ground [Chorus] Dance on the delta where the rivers meet Zorba and Zydeco keep the beat Opa echoes through the heat New Orleans Greek Cajun can't be beat [Bridge] A fiddle sings like a bayou breeze Bouzouki answers with a tune to tease From Athens to the swamp we bridge the seas In this melting pot we find our keys
