Am 
She was a dancer at the Club Zydeco Moon 
E                                        Am 
An all night social house and all day saloon 

She had the face and body the devil’s own desire 
     E                                            Am 
Her lips were full and sugar sweet as blackberry wine 

      G 
She danced around my table 
           Am 
Flashin’ gris-gris eyes at me 
   G                          Am 
Swayin’ to the tempo of a squeezebox melody 

She reached down and snatched the folded money 

from my fist 
    E                                 Am 
So easy to give into and too hard to resist 

G                           Am 
She did her business underneath the candle light 
G                    Am 
Always aware of Mama Zuzu’s watchful eye 

How many young boys have lost their innocence 
E 
Turned into old men wonderin’ where their 
       Am 
money went 

( F  Am  F  G  E ) 

     Am 
What happened 20 years ago seem like yesterday 

I don’t drive through that part of town, 
   E           Am 
I go the other way 

She still dances through my bedroom every time I 

go to sleep 
         E 
To the rhythm of the music that the squeezebox 
        Am 
player keeps 

  G                                Am 
I smell the incense burning Mama Zuzu’s cigarette 
   G                          Am 
Louisiana heat wave and the midnight summer sweat 

Somewhere down that alley there’s an old run down saloon 
       E                                   Am 
She’s waiting there for me at Club Zydeco Moon 

      G 
She danced around my table 
           Am 
Flashin’ gris-gris eyes at me 
   G                          Am 
Swayin’ to the tempo of a squeezebox melody 

She reached down and snatched the folded money 

from my fist 
    E                                 Am 
So easy to give into and too hard to resist
