When I first got up to middle
"T" "E" double "N"
I was so knocked out by all
The friendly people
And how they all said howdee come on over
Come on come on in
We don't know the meaning of
The word outsider
And I said since you all play all this kind of music
There's something I sure would like to know
Really late one night I heard this crazy music
And I think that they call it Fais Do Do
Can you tell me what you know about Fais Do Do.

They said, "Son it's just a feeling
Way down in your soul
Just a little rhythm
With this wild rhumba roll
And the guys way down in Dixie
Call it Fais Do Do
Tell you a secret
Drives women crazy-
And that's all you need to know about Fais Do Do."

You cannot imagine the shape my head was in
I went for a drive way down
The Cumberland River
When I heard this rockin' music comin'
Out of the Harbor Inn
Couldn't resist, I stopped for a drink
Stopped for a listen
I said to the boys in the band
When you get a break
There's something I sure would like to know
Really late one night I heard this wild crazy music
And I think that they called it Fais Do Do
Can you tell me what you know about Fais Do Do

They said, "Son it's just a feeling
Way down in your soul
Just a little rhythm
With this wild rhumba roll
And the guys way down in Dixie
Call it Fais Do Do
Tell you a secret
Drives women crazy-
And that's all you need to know about Fais Do Do."
