(Whoa!)

Let's get goin' now, we're ready!
Let's start sumpin, Lou'siana hayride,
Let's start callin' a roll!

Like that sport,
Sittin' in the hay,
Lovin' it away, oh!
The time is short,
Crack your whip,
Get your little buggy to go!

Said let's start sumpin, Lou'siana hayride,
We're just rarin' to go!
Round and round,
Let's go to town;
There's Lou'siana hayride for me!

Get goin', Lou'siana hayride,
Get goin', we all is ready!
Start sumpin', Lou'siana hayride,
No use callin' the roll!

No foolin', we all is happy!
Get goin', Lou'siana hayride,
No use callin' the roll!
