G (so alternate with finger on and off of C note)

(Instrumental two verses)

Well the years have come and gone
Still the old song lingers on
I keep it in my heart with fond affection
Like the family good luck charm
That keeps away the harm
Creola's always there for my protection

(Chorus 3)
Creola, good for your sola
I loved what they were sayin'
I loved what they were playin'

Creola on my victrola
Makes me feel like dancin'
Fall in love romacin' the melody
Creola Creola Creola for me

It's in the mood it's in the blood
It's in the food it's in the mud
It's a spicy kind of life
Just repeat the words I say
About a thousand times a day
Creola Creola Creola for me

It's in the mood it's in the blood
It's in the food it's in the mud
It's a spicy kind of life
Forget about the mumbo-jumbo
Hello to the world of gumbo
Creola Creola Creola for me
