Translation
Let's go to Lafayette


Let's go to Lafayette to change your name.
We will call you Mrs. Mischievous Comeaux.
Honey, you're too pretty to act like a tramp.
How do you think I am going to manage without you?
Look at what you've done, pretty heart.
We are so far apart and that is pitiful.
Honey, you're too pretty to act like a tramp.
