It is one Cajun Christmas Eve down in Louisiana 

Every boy and girl is waiting for their presents from Santa 

MawMaw serves gumbo fresh out the pot

A dash of Tabasco to make it extra hot

But before we dig in, we hear PawPaw say,

"Now it is time for us to pray."

After we eat, we gather around the tree

And everyone opens the first present they see

Smiles of joy and cheer fill the room

And then Dad says, "We have to leave soon."

Once everyone goes home and is asleep,

The children wake up to spy and sneek 

They look out the window and see something bizarre 

It is Santa Claus on his sleigh flying above the stars

He shouts, "Heaux, Heaux, Heaux!" for the children to hear 

Then they notice, he is riding his sleigh without any reindeer

Santa's sleigh is being guided by alligators from the swamp 

One of the children whispers, "Now I know exactly what I want!"

Then the children decide to go back to bed 

And they have visions of beingets and powdered sugar in their heads 

The morning arrives, and it is Christmas Day 

Downstairs in the living room is where the presents await 

One gift is wiggling and moving around

And then from the box comes a strange sound 

The children open the lid with great fear

And out comes a baby alligator, and Mom says, "Oh Dear!"
