Boudreaux was a Nutcase Lyrics by Austin Lounge Lizards

Paint Me On Velvet

1993

Boudreaux was a nutcase, we knew it from the start
He had a dark and evil soul and malice in his heart
He'd lived alone on Lake Lafourche; if anyone would ask
He said, "I'm gonna catch that largemouth bass"
Bass was bigger than a gator, ate men for a snack
As white and strong as Huey Long, his name was Moby Jack
A thousand men had tried him, he'd made fools of them all
Boudreaux swore he'd mount him on his wall
He had a mighty Evinrude, a hundred different lures
He brought along a little Oscar and a case of Coors
He had a strange obsession, he was gonna catch that fish
He was sorry that he got his wish
(He was sorry that he got his wish)
He was sorry that he got his wish
For twenty years, he took his boat out, every day and night
Through wind and rain, he fished in vain; he never got a bite
The village people mocked him; he didn't seem to hear
He knew that his strange destiny was near
He cast his favorite lure into the water, in the rain
He felt a pull upon his line as strong as a freight train
He finally landed Moby Jack, he looked him in the eye
And the stronger of the two survived
The mud down on the bottom is as thick as gumbo roux
His ghost is still there fishing at the mouth of the big bayou
The devil wanted Boudreaux for a spicy Cajun dish
He was sorry that he got his
(Flip flop fish flip flop fish flip flop)
(He was sorry that he got his wish)
He was sorry that he got his
(Flip flop fish flip flop fish flip flop)
(He was sorry that he got his wish)
He was sorry that he got his
(Flip flop fish flip flop fish flip flop)
(He was sorry that he got his wish)
He was sorry that he got his
(Flip flop fish flip floppin' fish flip floppin' fish)
(He was sorry that he got his wish)
