Dans le quartier françaisde la Nouvelle-Orléanslà où jadis dansaientles esclaves des blancsy a une petite Mariesurnommée Mama Gri-Grielle sait comment faire le bon temps roulermais la nuit cette négresse égorge les pouletsmême si ton cœurest aussi dur qu'un caillouil fondra comme du beurrepour cette fille des bayoussa langue est en réglissesa peau en pain d'épiceses baisers,
jamais tu ne t'en fatiguerasmais ne va pas la voir un soir de Mardi grasMama Gri-Gric'est Mama Gri-GriMama Gri-Gridon't mess with Mama Gri-Grishe'll pull a spell on you,
she'll never set you freenight after night she'll haunt your dreamsshe's a voodoo witch from New Orleansle petit Danny Fisheret son sourire aguicheuril travaillait au barmais rêvait d'être une starpour que les gens l'acclamentil aurait vendu son âmeun soir,
elle lui a parlé à voix basseil a terminé vedette à Las Vegasdon't mess with Mama gri-Grishe's meaner than Champion Jack Dupreejouer le pianocomme le Professeur Longs Cheveuxc'était le seul vœud'Antoine Dominoaujourd'hui les mains jointesil dit cette fille est une sainteil jure qu'il a vu briller son auréoleavant qu'elle disparaisse dans la nuit créoleMama Gri-Gric'est Mama Gri-GriMama Gri-Grijuju music from Haitibut you better not go to the partya whole lotta devil's round the cherry treeso you better not mess with Mama Gri-Gri
